“What society teaches people is not to guard themselves like precious gold that must not be stolen, but rather to make them forget that they themselves are valuable gold—encouraging them to scatter this gem within outwardly. If one pays attention to those who have internalized and ritualized the selling of their soul, it becomes clear: they possess dozens of interests and pursuits, paint colorful pictures, and write rich texts, yet remain inwardly colorless and utterly empty.”

“...The spaces they frequent construct atmospheres that mimic melancholy and discontent. Yet even these are culturally branded, bounded sanctuaries—designed to feel outsiderish without ever genuinely stepping outside. They exist to perform alienation, not to live it—to its edges. Because if they did, they would discover that the only true sanctuary is the one for those few who see sanctuary itself as a lie.”

“...All of these writings could be reduced to mere “thought-provoking content,” for the system devours everything in its path like a never-satisfied monster—even its own “critics,” or perhaps especially its “critics.” The system sells even its own “resistance,” which is why “counterculture” is, in fact, bound to and created by the very thing it claims to oppose.”
