Signalis, Authority, and History
There's a level of nuance to how Signalis presents the violence of the authority of the nation that doesn't call attention to itself but which I really appreciate. Which is basically just, all the officers and cops and spies who make life hell for people like the Gestalt mine workers, Ariane, and the Itou family--we get little glimpses into who they are in Adler and Kolibri's diaries and despite the propaganda and the authoritative tone they take in official communications, for the most part they don't seem to actually be particularly invested in the hard line of national ideology. They uphold it though, viciously, both because things were worse under imperial rule (we don't get hard details on what it was like but it's mentioned in passing enough that I believe it) and because they're scared that if they don't they will be decommissioned and easily replaced. They are literally stamped out of a production line after all. There's a subtext of well, if I don't do it my replacement will anyway and I'm not trying to die so what's the point of rocking the boat?
I think Kolibri stands out to me most clearly on this because in communications from the block warden regarding Ariane there is emphasis put on how it is unacceptable and suspicious that she should be so interested and invested in art and literature that does not serve the purpose of furthering the goals of the nation. But we know that Kolibris themselves are bookworms, Adlers are fiends for stimulating experiences, and both get miserable FAST when deprived of art and puzzles and entertainment and hobbies. Y'know, just like anyone. Far be it from being a paragon of The Nation only interested in productive labor, we are reminded that the block warden, too, hates this shitty town and wants to transfer but is denied. They're hypocrites, but not monsters, nor brainwashed puppets of the state.
The monstrousness at play is not contained within any particular subset of evil individuals, or even an inherent universal force of evil contained in the broad notion of The Nation. There is no cosmic evil force that makes them all do these things to each other. The monstrousness is within the social systems, the mechanisms of how authority perpetuates on a structural procedural level, held in place by fear and tangible threats of violence, each link in the chain restraining the next through those threats out of fear that if they don't, then they'll be next. Regardless how many, if any, of those people in this chain are true dogmatic hardliners, they must act as such because failing to do so opens them up to danger.
Here then I think of the quote that is so prominent, "Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl", from Lovecraft's The Festival. This is not just a chilling abstract visual that conveniently evokes a mineshaft-- in Lovecraft's story, this line refers to worms which ate the decomposing bodies of wizards whose wretched souls had remained after death, complete with the terrible powers they gained through contracts with demons. Those worms inherited both their power, and also the evil. The Nation, despite having overthrown the Empire, is built on imperial technology, in particular Replikas and bioresonance. So too, then, we can imply that The Nation inherited with those things some of the monstrousness of The Empire as well. There is no end of history, nor clean break with the past, no matter how violently it may seem to be rejected. That which remains from the past--and something inevitably always does--creates the present.
This is a game that is not shy about evoking East Germany. And I think all of this provides a sophisticated picture of repressive authority that we rarely see in fiction of the English speaking world, especially in games. The year the S23 incident takes place is notably 84, but, frankly, I find this to be more compelling and illustrative than 1984 (and I'm a librarian and have taught English classes so I get to say that). Orwell, let's be honest, presents a fairly one dimensional picture of authority, where people seize power and wield it against others out of seeming mustache twirling evil or malice.
Here though we get a more humanistic view. Authority did not come from nowhere and is not wielded arbitrarily out of gleeful cruelty or mindless brainwashed allegiance. People aren't "just following orders". Individuals have rich inner lives. They make decisions, and those decisions are based in the context they're in. Even the decision to carry repressive tools of the past into the present is a decision that was made strategically with the big picture in mind. Nobody woke up and decided to be evil that day. Everyone operates on self interest, and, we must assume, an earnest desire for things to get better. Even the [spoiler] program which served as an inspirational demonstration of The Nation's power, you can imagine the chain of officers and bureaucrats who genuinely wanted the people of the nation to believe in the future, to confidently trust that everyone was working together towards something great and beautiful. And, through a long chain of those people who couldn't say "No" without being decommissioned, we ended up with something unbelievably cruel.
We get to know Adler and Kolibri and the other officers not to say well they're human too, maybe it wasn't so bad that they condemned all those people to agonizing suffering, but to remember that if we keep looking for true monsters we will not find them. There are no monsters and there are no demons. There are only people making decisions. A better world is possible. A better world, where Adler is just a paper pusher who does puzzles after work instead of signing papers to authorize torture, where Kolibris are librarians instead of spies and cops, where EULEs can gossip and play piano and ARARs can do maintenance on facilities that don't contain torture rooms, is one that would not have led to the Ariane and Elster's tragic cycle and ultimate end.
Authority and its attendant cruelty is not contained, radiating forth from The Great Revolutionary and Her Daughter, it is within the social systems of control. When those two women die, that cruelty will continue so long as those social systems continue. Like Lovecraft's worms, no matter how long dead the evil of the past is, so long as it continues to be fed upon, that evil will not only remain, but evolve into something new in the present. A better world can't be achieved through the death of the old world alone, even if violent overthrow is warranted. There is no end of history. There is no clean break from the past.
"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living."
Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
#Signalis#Didn't include everything because this is already very long#But there's a lot to add to this kind of reading from other former Eastern Bloc states that go beyond a kind of braindead#Simplistic Authoritarianism bad communism bad freedom good type of view common in the English speaking world#That go more into well what is authority and how does it work and how has it remained durable and violent before during and after the cold#The Romanian movie Bad Luck Banging is very good for this in expressing how things have been more similar than different#Under monarchy fascism communism and liberal democracy over the last 150 years there#replika joker voice maybe the real monster is SOCIETY#op#quality content

I can't believe my model of camera has tripled in value since I bought it in 2021. Some of them go for £150 currently, which for a camera that was originally from 2012, is completely insane. Still not convinced that my resin plan can help fix the lens on mine. Seeing how much it has increased in value makes it even more painful, really.
#I always thought I just got lucky#that I bought a 10 year+ old camera#that took such good photos#but no#apparently it's known for being of a certain quality#this was clearly less known in 2021 when I got it for under £50#why aren't people putting that £150 towards current mirrorless... whatever cameras?#I don't get it#it can't be better than current tech surely??#emeraldtext

thank you for the extremely well reasoned response. you make a bunch of really fantastic points that link together in a way that's nice and comprehendible. and i really appreciate you digging into my question/more-of-a-comment-really. i think part of my problem is that i'm surrounded by weird health corner case people and simultaneously am extremely risk averse (no alcohol for reasons, very rare hot beverages, no caffeine, the list goes on) so you are a refreshing breath of sanity.
thank you <3
-aspartame anon
*sympathy fistbumps* spending a lot of time around food allergy and chronic illness communities online has some overlap with that and it can put you in a weird headspace.
For what it's worth, I think you're cool on the aspartame, caffeine, and the hot drinks. Remember that the IARC standards aren't about how likely something is to cause cancer in individuals, it's about the overall strength of the evidence that the thing has caused cancer in at least some cases. There is fairly strong evidence that hot drinks can cause cancer; that does not mean that drinking hot drinks is likely to cause cancer or that drinking hot drinks increases your risk of certain kinds of cancer.
Have a good day, and maybe a warm drink!
#personally i like my coffee at about 140-145#everyone insists that means i'm making it cold#they are wrong! especially if you're using dairy! If you want a good latte it *should* be under 150
