Wait no yeah about the prison and the people snitching on Superman and each other right
Like that is what happens in a surveillance state, theyโre in fully transparent boxes. They literally have no privacy and so anyone can know what anyone is doing at any point. And so thereโs no need to have like people watching them all up close bc they will police each other - for fear of getting punished alongside the โwrongdoerโ or for the hope that theyโll get preferential treatment for doing the guardsโ work. And then, anything can become a โwrongโ action and one can frame another for anything as long as enough people say it
And how that correlates with current society is that online, anyone can become โcancelledโ at any time and as long as youโre the one pointing out all these โwrongdoersโ then you /cant/ possibly be one yourself right? Until someone else turns on you. So this causes self-policing (self-censorship like โunaliveโ etc) and the policing of others
