- Entry: Popularity as domination
Reason: Status operates as a coercive system that defines worth through exclusion.

Reason: Resistance against cruelty mutates into a destructive logic that mirrors domination.
Related Film: Fight Club - Core: Can destroying the hierarchy free the self?
Reason: The collapse of the dominant order does not automatically create moral liberation.
