IMO, when you bribe someone you're buying them in a sense... But when you blackmail them, you're threatening them in some manner... To destroy their political career, their marriage, their societal influence etc... Hence, blackmail is a more potent use of manipulation...
The Canal know blackmail is far more powerful. The target usually has no opportunity to escape from their grip and due to the rewards of compliance, and the known punishment for defiance, accepts the fact that it is easier to comply with their new masters.
Bribery may be the initial trap to trigger the blackmail.

Yup, when you Buy someone, they'll do one or two things, and then ask for more Bribe Money....
Whereas Blackmail is direct Enslavement, and you then OWN their ass, and if they say NO, you end their Soft Cushy Life....
except once they take your bribe, you can then blackmail them! So both owns you for life..
Maybe, if you can get it on Video, or at least a Check Stub or Cancelled check, but Cash is hard to track....
Exactly... Cheers fren...
...and more economical....
...howls....
You can put a price on what you want to gain, but not on losing everything.

If you bribe someone, you have to keep bribing them.
If you blackmail them, you can blackmail forever
Blackmail is forever (like diamonds)?
I have always preferred bribery :)
The question answers itself.
