Our cities were atomized which happens to make quelling, compartmentalizing, and hiding unrest much easier. We would be doing great if we were simply anemic.

On a personal note, I’ve been to several protests where (it feels as though) the only people who are watching us are the police on the ground and the drones in the sky. We march down the approved path, which has been sectioned off from the rest of the city, and yell about various issues. Then we all go back to work on Monday. Pretty demoralizing at times but it’s better than being terminally online.
