Break it down and become their savior.

There have been some fringe movements in San Francisco - check out
thenetworkstate.com and an interesting article at
https://www.thenerdreich.com/balaji-srinivasans-gray-vision-for-san-francisco/

That describes quite a faustian future, where "grays" (tech-funded
control the city at the expense of "blues" (traditional democrats) by
partnering with the police and controlling access to "gray" parts of San
Francisco.

Eventually, because of ideological differences, talking of secession.

The colors and the language seem to be intended to be reminiscent of the
civil war, with tech-worship idolatry thrown in.
