Inv03 - The Stage
// The polite dictatorship //
Lights on.
Reports printed.
A new slogan debuts; cleaner fonts, softer colors.
The same names, rearranged on the org chart.
Cameras roll. Statements are rehearsed until meaning evaporates.
Words like integrity and transparency are polished until they shine through the rot.
The audience claps on cue; investors nod.
Behind the backdrop, the servers keep humming. The cover-up becomes culture; the culture becomes applause, it loops back again in order.
