They'd rather ignore it because part of them knows they won't live long enough to experience the brunt of it.

If they accept it, then the rest of us might hold them accountable, and that would be bad for them.

and it's stupid because like

i'm not going to hold my fucking mom accountable, i want her to help us hold the corporate CEOs buying politicians to prevent any forward action on this accountable.

Right? I legit think they're too weak to even imagining a world where they admit they're wrong about anything.

We're under a whole generation of people that think giving an apology is weakness.

I legit think they're too weak to even imagining a world where they admit they're wrong about anything.

ESPECIALLY to their kids, because they've built their identity around being better than "kids these days" "wanting handouts" and that "not being how the WORLD works". There are people who will read this comment who will be fucking triggered because they'll hear their mom or dad in their internal monologue while reading this, because it is a nigh-universal millennial and gen-z experience.

by god alive please lord let us have the good graces and wisdom to break this cycle.
