The worst part of a society manipulated by politics is to see the poor defending the rich who are responsible for their poverty.
~ Paulo Coelho
This was interesting to come across on IG. It applies to traumatized families too, the ones who find that the person or people who finally decide to stand up and speak about the trauma in whatever form it took place (might be taking place) are shunned and maligned - there is a cadre of other traumatized people willing to come to the defense of the abuser and uphold the status quo as though there is something there for them that will eventually be good.
It’s not. It won’t.
