When Fish Swim Together In One Direction, The Net Breaks
Coordinated community withdrawal of compliance from systems that require our participation to extract from us.
YOU ARE ALREADY CAUGHT
Individual struggle keeps the net working. Coordinated refusal breaks it.
The Net Is Working Perfectly
You feel it every month when rent takes half your income. When the credit card minimum payment comes due. When you realize you’ve been “saving for a deposit” for five years and you’re further away than when you started.
You are not failing to escape. You are caught in a net that is pulling you, along with everyone around you, toward extraction and precarity.
The net is designed to work this way.
Every Hour You Spend Fighting Alone Is An Hour The Extraction Continues
You get a better job - the net adjusts, rent goes up.You cut expenses - costs inflate faster than you can save.You take on debt to cover gaps - the net holds you tighter with interest.You compete for housing - the net profits from your desperation.
The system doesn’t need to force you. It just needs you to keep struggling alone.

∙ They criminalized protest - Anti-protest laws carry prison time, disruption is terrorism
∙ They captured elections - Both parties serve the same donors, agree on all economic fundamentals
