General observations over time, not directed at you personally:

That’s the “reasonable” justification that Team Demoralization uses to keep up the beatings until morale improves.
The victims don’t escape the reign of terror because they’ve been taught that they deserve it.
>>>But, having said that, if the good news is never told, then what is the point of spreading the bad?<<<

The Established order is too big to fail, until it does just that on some minor point, because that’s how it had cruelly judged and locked up its victims (and threw away the key) for any insignificant and innocent thing, in order to stay Established.
The Good News in all of this is that the world can turn on a dime!
USAID got cancelled. It’s a living parable.
