One day in the life of a dissident in the CECOD

Squid game

The speakers are constantly playing a tune, the Super Earth National Anthem, instrumental version. One can hardly take it off their mind as it is repeated so many times during the day that one is listening it in their ears even in silence. A true form of torture.

0600: Breakfast. Oatmeal accompanied with a cup of liber-tea.

0630: Reflection circles. Then our district forms circles, where we reflect to each other and our democracy overseers what we have learned during our stay. It is like group therapy.

0700: To work! Shortly after we form lines and with a light sprint we go to our working encampments. Four hours of labour, in order to maintain our accommodation here and not burden the Super Earth taxpayer with our living costs. Instrumental Super Earth Anthem playing in the background the whole time.

Then, we have our hard-earned lunch break.

Post-lunch salute: All rise for the full Anthem. Last up? Service extended. Unwilling glance? Another cycle.

Sports hour: PT drills—simulated Helldiver drops vs. holographic Terminids. A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.

Evening: Dinner + re-education. We finish the day with dinner, and Managed Democracy quiz with history lesson.

Lights out chant:

I will comply.

I WILL COMPLY.

I WILL COMPLY!
