Democratic collapse doesn’t take dramatic collapse—it dies in the margins. Parties pretend to represent us, while voters shrug through apathy. Activists pound keyboards. Pollsters pad turnout. But in reality, entire demographics have slipped into statistical oblivion. No protests. No headlines. The real crisis isn’t public collapse—it’s silent erasure.
Capitalism no longer builds—it bureaucratizes. The global corporation is a Gothic cathedral of forms, run by PowerPoint sorcerers and KPI necromancers. Innovative entrepreneurs have been replaced by checkbox bureaucrats who conjure compliance, not creation. Real building is a relic. Today’s performance art keeps the system alive while erasing true makers’ agency.
We ignored the warning signs. Collapse isn’t a spectacle—it’s slow rot, disguised as everyday routine. We’ve turned denial into a national pastime while society ossifies into performance art. Mercy isn’t saving what’s dead—it’s pulling the plug. And when the lights fade, we realize we were the ones inflating the exit signs.
A darkly amused chronicle of collapse in slow motion. While the world obsessed over clickbait and dopamine hits, the scaffolding of normalcy quietly gave way. This is a dispatch for the aware, the exiled, and the half-mad—those still wondering if they’re the crazy ones for noticing that it all seems... over.
I once guarded a Saudi prince who lived in the largest suite of the hotel—and still never left it for months. A man atop the world, imprisoned in his own luxury. That was when I realized: wealth doesn’t liberate, it embalms. Simplicity, not opulence, keeps the fire alive. How Rocky are you?
Human rights sound glorious—until you notice who’s selling them. From Cyrus the Great’s PR stunts to the French Revolution’s blood-soaked proclamations, the pattern is the same: noble words masking power plays. Without teeth, rights are just poetry in a dead language—diplomatic wallpaper covering the cracks of a crumbling moral order.
