What are some critical pressure points on the facade of capital? (hexbear.net)

Here in burgerland, it seems there's no end to the ways that people can bury their heads in the sand or just all together deny that awful things are happening. But I'm wondering, what are the critical social structures that, if attacked, will be an undeniable shattering of the illusion for most people?

Don't know if this makes sense, I'm very eepy.

The free speech things would probably just lead to elaborate metaphors on the internet, and I'm absolutely certain many people would romanticize not being allowed on the internet on weekends. They literally kill people in the streets now and not much happens

There's probably better ways to implement is. But the point is to ban poop flinging so that people are forced to develop literacy. The point in making spontaneous mass protests illegal is to force people into developing discipline.

If you want to overthrow me then organize, get disciplined, present your case and should the majority be on your side I'm destined to fall and why shouldn't I?

That is unless I want to be an Empress, then I'd allow endless mockery, make myself take all the blame for your sorrows and allow for endless, disconnected, entertainment. But how is this any different than raising cattle? I cannot imagine how disgusting someone would have to be in order to treat people in such a way.
