power and family
Power and family are rarely separate. When authority enters the home, love stops being simple and loyalty gains weight. This tag explores stories and ideas where family is not just an emotional bond, but a structure through which power is protected, transferred, and enforced.
The articles collected here look at families shaped by hierarchy rather than equality—where roles are inherited, expectations are unspoken, and belonging comes with conditions. Power becomes intimate. Decisions made in private echo publicly. Affection and control exist side by side, often indistinguishable from one another.
Under the *power and family* tag, you’ll find reflections on legacy, sacrifice, obedience, and the quiet negotiations that happen inside families built around authority. These pieces don’t romanticize domination, nor do they flatten family into dysfunction. They observe how power reshapes relationships, how loyalty can both protect and trap, and how family becomes the most effective—and complicated—vehicle for maintaining control across generations.
