The peace-keeping that is really power-keeping. The "let's keep things harmonious" said by the person whose harmony depends on someone else's silence. The diplomatic register used to launder injustice.
Eris in Libra arrives at the negotiation table — at the mediated conversation, at the decorous dinner, at the institutional meeting where the rules of conduct were specifically designed to keep the powerful comfortable. She refuses the false symmetry that calls one person's grievance equivalent to the other's power. She points out who the "balanced" framing actually serves. The gift is the willingness to break the polite consensus when the polite consensus is the injustice — to choose justice over harmony when the two have been deliberately conflated. Eris in Libra grows the muscle of the principled disagreement that does not pretend the disagreement is between equals.

Who the harmony was for. Eris in Libra names the moment the room stops being polite because politeness was the camouflage of the imbalance.
