I can think of a few.

There is the covert kind, where you quietly line up allies via corruption and pocket lining. Here, handfuls of families benefit at the expense of their populations.

There is the roundabout kind, where you dismantle all traditions and shame all history of a culture, in the name of fairness and equity and teaching the world to sing with apple trees and honey bees. A proportion of the population with naive dreams of utopia will readily come along, and by the time they realize the true motives for it are for a different purpose entirely, it is already too late.

There is the mass psychological siege. A constant state of crisis, whereby millions are kept in a low to mid-level state of fear that the world and their own family are under extreme threat. From war to cold war, to climate to terrorists, back to climate to plague, and back full circle to war. Most will dutifully jump to the next topic, quickly forgetting the lies and ramifications of the one preceding it.

Then there is the "no bullshit" kind. The purpose is not hidden. The demand is layed out on the table, and when unheeded, the equipment is unleashed.

I have to admit, if I were to favor any kind over another, it would be the last one. No bullshit, no fakery, no tepid tricks or decades of scheming hush-hush methodology. Just good old-fashioned bloodshed.
