"She’s dangerous because she’s harmless. The kind of person who weaponizes her pettiness. Who disguises sabotage as concern. Who cries about time commitments while torching meetings for sport.” That's an interesting way of analyzing the damage done by the weak, the frail and the concerned.
It’s a difficult thread to pull—how soft power, when misdirected or misunderstood, can become just as corrosive as overt control. I’ve spent a long time thinking about the ways we reward performative helplessness while punishing steady dissent.
Sometimes, those who seem least capable of causing damage become the most effective cover for institutional failure. And sadly, they don’t even know they’re doing it.
