It's striking the extent to which there's never any justification given for any of this beyond "it's too many people" or "it's actually fake" and no apparent planning behind any of it. It's the aesthetics of "move fast and break things" without any discernible direction or purpose. It's cosplay.

It's fine in low-stakes scenarios, because it's fast and cheap. But it's insane when lives are at stake.
Privileged dipshits who live in bubbles huffing their own farts. They believe everything they tell themselves because not enough people have told them to fuck off.
