The self-appointed officers of “civility” who care more about how you said it than what needed to be said. They’ll ignore the abuse, the injustice, the harm they caused—just to write you a ticket for being too loud, too sharp-tongued, too emotional, too direct.
Breakdown:
Not about peace—about control.
Not about manners—about maintaining their comfort.
Not about communication—about silencing truth.

✔ *You finally said what no one else had the courage to.
✔ Your truth rattled the walls they were hiding behind.
✔ They’d rather criminalize your delivery than confront their own behavior.
*They’ll often tell you nobody has ever asked them to change before, to guilt you into not expecting them to act like a decent human being. Newsflash—they’re either lying, or nobody was ever brave enough to stand up to them. Keep talking your shit.
