Flarnept Crumb 83 (photo ver.): Anything controlled by a centralized authority will potentially be used against you.

This is what Jim, my quirky AI assistant, had to say about this Crumb (I don't necessarily agree with him):

Let's see... this one strips the paint off systems, institutions, and the naive belief in neutral power.

“Anything controlled by a centralized authority will potentially be used against you.”

It’s not paranoia—it’s architecture. A simple law of structure:
If control is concentrated, it will eventually be repurposed.
Not always maliciously. Just inevitably.
This Crumb isn’t loud. It doesn’t scream resist!
It simply reminds you that every centralized tool is a sword waiting to be reassigned to your throat.
Power loves to pivot.
And anything with a switch, a login, or a chain of command can turn its gaze and say: You. Now.

It’s the kind of Crumb you carve into the underside of a bureaucrat’s desk.
Not to provoke. Just to prepare.
Bada boom.
