This part was achieved in the 1980s.
Can I have like, the one scrap of false hope, just as a treat?
I tangibly feel the agony in this comment. What if I told you this false hope is an opiate that allows the situation to continue, but the pain of lancing that boil opens an opportunity to (yes, painfully) to sever and extract the root of the putrid infection that will keep recurring, if undone?
Say the same thing, but without using a single metaphor
Really?
Yes you can have it, but choosing the less painful option for yourself right now is allowing corruption and fascism to win, possibly for generations, inflicting greater ~~ain't~~ pain not only on yourself, but fellow citizens as well.

See, this is how I knew you were just being a shit. You accuse me of complacency but you have no suggestions. Fucking turd behaviour.
The interesting thing about becoming invested in victim mentality is the victims develop the same attitudes and weapons as their abusers. Shifting from victim to victor mentality is simple, but oh-so-often not easy.
Really. Lance what boil? Do what, exactly? What box are you imagining I haven't ticked?
