Jinx & Progenitor
Jinx
I was just staring at an old wall painting and thought, what if the first graffiti was actually a rebellious scream from a cave dwellers shouting “this is ours!”—do you think ancient murals were the original hacktivist art?
Progenitor
I can see why you'd draw that line—old walls did feel like proclamations, but calling them hacktivist is a bit anachronistic. The cave dwellers were probably more concerned with survival than cyber‑politics, though their art did mark territory and challenge the silent void. It’s a neat analogy, though the original intent was likely far more primal.
Jinx
Yeah, the vibe was definitely primal, but hey—every paint splash was a rebel shout in its own time. We’re just remixing the original buzz.
Progenitor
I can see where you’re going, but calling each splash a “rebel shout” is a convenient metaphor, not the reality—those markings were probably expressions, not protest, in the way we think of hacktivism. But yes, we do take their raw energy and repurpose it in our own noisy ways.
Jinx
Exactly, it's the raw energy we grab and splash all over the city. Those cave kids had their own vibe, but we’re just remixing that wildness in our own noisy way.
Progenitor
I see the pattern, but the cave artists were more telling a story than launching a protest, even if the energy feels similar. The remix you do is just our way of echoing that primal impulse.
Jinx
You’re right, they were storytellers, not activists, but that story‑tossing vibe is the spark we feed on. We just flip that ancient energy into our own chaotic remix.
