"These demonstrations are a cry for certainty—for order, for coherence, for anything that might stabilize a world spiraling into ambiguity, especially the unbearable uncertainty of whether one will live or die, whether friends and loved ones will make it through the night. They are not merely political gestures, but existential pleas: attempts to reassert legibility in the face of chaos, to grasp at fragments of meaning when meaning itself is under siege. And yet, they are also performances of agency—acts of asserting some form of control, even when that control inadvertently reinforces the very machinery of slaughter they seek to halt."
