counterinsurgency

Description

Counterinsurgency is a series of ‘peacekeeping’ rituals designed to silence government dissent. Employing tear gas, slogans, and the magic of statistical alchemy, it constructs new cages called order. Its practitioners proudly proclaim ‘protecting peace’ while orchestrating the farce of silencing their own critics. Ultimately, it is a grand social ceremony of consent, where society collectively turns a blind eye to oppression disguised as security and rationalizes reality under the banner of ’the greater good.’

Definitions
