Edit; The inconvenient rules

  1. We are all sinners

    You are either damned if you do or damned if you don't .

  2. All existence is temporary and for sale
    Everything can be bought, everything can be sold. Nothing has value beyond what the market assigns to it today.

  3. The individual is an illusion
    You do not own yourself. Your body belongs to the State, your thoughts to the Machine, and your dreams are stolen from billboards.

  4. Truth is always a weapon – and never free
    Information is filtered, distorted, and dosed according to whoever holds power. Knowing too much is a death sentence.

  5. The Machine consumes all, but entertains you while you wait
    Technology liberates no one – it only creates new forms of slavery with more comfortable chains.

  6. Resistance is necessary, yet always futile
    Rebellion is merely part of the cycle that keeps the system healthy. You become part of the propaganda you try to destroy.

  7. History is not meant to be remembered, but rewritten
    The past is adjusted to fit the narrative of the current rulers. Every generation gets its own set of lies.

  8. Survival demands betrayal
    In Skhēma’s world, the one who survives is the one willing to sacrifice others – family, friends, lovers – for one more day.

  9. Faith is a narcotic
    Religious and political belief systems are designed to keep you calm, not to set you free.

  10. Only that which can be replicated is allowed to exist
    Unique things, true originals, and authentic emotions are destroyed to prevent instability.

  11. Silence is loyalty
    Asking no questions is the highest form of patriotism.
