FROM a great piece by Morgan C. on Substack:

What mattered here was never public safety. If safety were the point, aerial assets would have been deployed and checkpoints on every road. Instead, every ounce of discipline went into the story: pundits reading from scripts, politicians striking the right notes, meme coins siphoning money, and ceremonies staged for cameras. This was governance through trauma, a spectacle designed to shock.

The details were crude, but the objective was exact. We were shown chaos, but the result was control—laying the groundwork for speech restrictions, surveillance expansion, and a hardened security state.

Well worth reading in its entirety.
