“...The spaces they frequent construct atmospheres that mimic melancholy and discontent. Yet even these are culturally branded, bounded sanctuaries—designed to feel outsiderish without ever genuinely stepping outside. They exist to perform alienation, not to live it—to its edges. Because if they did, they would discover that the only true sanctuary is the one for those few who see sanctuary itself as a lie.”

“Every kind of passion is being transformed into a form of industry. Every passion is monetized or at least expected to be. This can be observed in schools, shows, articles, conferences, films, advertisements, and even within the primitive instincts of humans: the relentless conversion of passion into profession, the monetization of personal emotions and thoughts. This message is constantly propagated, taught, and encouraged by all of these forces. More than that, it is what people dream of—because they all embody identities scripted by singular capitalist narratives. And this constitutes the greatest insult to one’s inner world.”
