This is our re-education camp. They’re re-educating us through their stone. Through their towers. Through the patterns in the paving stones. Through the slogans written on their benches. Through their endless plaques.
They’re re-educating us through their gentle walkways. Through the building names. And the listening lampposts. Through their glass and steel. Through their surveillance equipment. Through their satellites, looking down.
The psychologists designed it all. The behavioural psychologists. At every turn, some behavioural psychology’s trick. Some subordination strategy. Some destroying of questioning and of the power to question.
This is what they’re doing to us. This is how they’re destroying us. How they’re making us capitulate. How they forcing us to think.
We should see it in the pavement – the patterned pavement. Is it supposed to hypnotise us? Is it supposed to placate us? We see it in the rivulets – in their channelled water. Is it supposed to tame us, too? Is it supposed to assist in our channelling?
We think we’re defeated – because of them. We think we’re crushed – and its their fault. We think they’ve won – but they haven’t won. We think we have no chance – but we do. We think we’re ruined – but we’re far from ruined.
