A Nation of Frogs, Proudly in the Well
We travel. We study overseas. We post photos of Europe and Japan. But mentally, we never left the well. We’re loud, reactive, and strangely proud of our ignorance — as long as our CPF grows and our flats look expensive on paper.
We believe we’re exceptional. We’re not. We’re obedient. We’re managed. We’re scared.
We behave badly oversea, but at home, we are subservient to a system that takes the best of us and gives us scraps as treats.
This is what control looks like when it’s perfected. No police, no violence — just years of psychological conditioning wrapped in technocratic language. “Stability.” “Pragmatism.” “Track record.”
They tell us to be grateful. And we are.
Singaporeans Won’t Change. It’s Over.
