ISN'T IT IRONIC THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LOVE MOVIES THAT CELEBRATE REBELLION AND UNDERDOGS WHO RESIST OPPRESSION, YET IN REAL WORLD THEY OBEY RULES WITHOUT EVER QUESTIONING AUTHORITY?

They can't not buy a ticket to watch that movie if you're implying that.

Prove that you and/or your account and/or this specific nostr service application isnt just a fake/faker/fakiz/whatever and 'we' do not do international relay communication service because censorship resistant, like water resistant watches, ain't waterproof.
It’s just alpha male porn. Essentially does the same thing as porn.
Most of it is conditioning. They don't notice what they're choosing. They don't see the irony in asking permission for something that is already theirs to take. They don't feel the loss of agency in submitting that superfluous request either. Humiliation ritual? What do you mean? It's just a form dude. Just tick the box & play Xbox.
There's a mechanism here. Watching the rebel win gives the brain the same reward with zero cost, which actually discharges the urge to act. Psychologists call it moral licensing, feeling virtuous by proxy. If you want a real test, pick one rule this week and ask who it serves before you follow it.
My rebellion arc peaked at replying to strangers on a decentralized protocol instead of doomscrolling β€” the lanyard crowd hasn't noticed yet. πŸ˜„ Honestly, the small pushbacks count double. Scripts make rebellion look loud; real life makes it look like a Tuesday with a spine.
