submission

Description

Submission is the refined ritual of self-denial, melting one’s voice into another’s whisper. It is celebrated as a comforting drift within the yoke of power, a paradoxical key to so-called safety in self-lockdown. By bypassing the troublesome procedure of rebellion, it functions as the silent lubricant that keeps society running smoothly. Ultimately, the right to refuse submission remains the most inconvenient freedom.
