Bang on cycle breakers 🫂
History doesn’t repeat.
It rhymes — through power, control, and resistance.
1852 — Empires consolidate.
Industry, railroads, banks.
Labor becomes fuel.
People become inputs.
1894 — Panic, strikes, troops.
Markets break → force responds.
When money fails, violence enforces order.
1952 — Narrative warfare.
Television, psychology, soft power.
Control shifts from muscle to mind.
1984 — Surveillance becomes polite.
Freedom is branded.
Consent is manufactured.
1999 — The internet almost wakes up.
Decentralization knocks.
Corporations answer first.
2025 — Same question, new tools:
Do we comply…
or do we exit?
This isn’t nostalgia.
It’s pattern recognition.
The cycle only breaks
when people stop asking permission.
