Never have so many gathered to achieve so little. Peaceful protest fortifies the state: it showcases tolerance for dissent, yet no demands are made, no concessions granted. With no need to expend resources on the protest-as-theatre, the government retains full capacity to suppress opposition.

If credit, auto, student loan, and medical debt weren't enough: the tech debt of vibe coding should help further shore down life's portfolio.

You've always been the person who never found their calling in tradition, but in critique. Your words as the critic have always found flesh to gore. And today you are the prey of your protege. And your voice is silent as they rip you apart. You asked this before, in youth. "Why aren't they fighting"
