>MY FEELINGS GOT HURT BY TRUTH
>I WILL REJECT TRUTH AND CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN THINGS THAT MAKE MY FEELINGS FEEL GOOD *IN THE MOMENT* RATHER THAN ALTER MY BELIEFS AND BEHAVIOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAID TRUTH
>OH NO WHY DO I KEEP LOSING
When the 4 AM raid comes and just kills you and your entire family without even the pretense of attempting to arrest you, and your neighbors applaud the brave federal agents as they leave the home, you don’t get to say you weren’t warned.
It’s exactly what you said if you think *a statement of objective truth* is “demoralization.” The only thing you care about is your own emotions. You contextualize reality itself with respect to your emotions. You’ll have to stop doing that if you ever expect to improve anything.

soberly saying "i do not believe this incident will change anything" is one thing (though i believe that too is objectively wrong, as every journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step), but you have created and repeated this mantra, and defend it with such ferocity, that it has ceased to be an objective statement and has begun to be deliberate demoralization.
i want to note i'm not demonizing you here. i know you're despairing and that misery loves company, and for that you have my sympathy. but the fact is that misery will help neither you nor the people you spread it to. that's the only objective fact in this conversation.
