This is how memory works Empty frames pretending they had purpose Nothing finished, everything repeated

This is what we build to feel safe But the walls never arrive Only the silence does

Unhale - Failed Utopia

"Failed Utopia" by Unhale

“The corporations that profit from permanent war need us to be afraid.[...] Fear means we will not ask unpleasant questions of those in power. Fear permits the government to operate in secret. Fear means we are willing to give up our rights and liberties for promises of security. The imposition of fear ensures that the corporations that wrecked the country cannot be challenged. Fear keeps us penned in like livestock.”

Chris Hedges, The Death of the Liberal Class

"How crowds are controlled, the way in which they submit to a leader, depends on the very principles of belief governing a society."

Richard Sennet, The Fall of Public Man, 3 edn (London: Faber & Faber, 1993), p. 232

The working class person of the ancien regime city, who wore quite different but equally onerous chains, found that they did not confine his movement - for pleasure, excitement, or work - about the city. The celebration of Localism and of the small-scale neighborhood on the part of well-meaning planners today is an unwitting reinforcement of a new form of domination, a deprivation of the city, imposed on workers in the last century.
