Yes, absolutely. Thinking about the fact that society works like that almost physically hurts, you know? And it makes you flinch away from things you like, and that hurts too. But I think (maybe) what can actually help is talking, because if we make it more clear that the issues are big, if we pair accountability with awareness of larger patterns, then maybe it'll be a little easier to have the conversation without it being quite as hurtful. Possibly. I'm not sure I'm making sense.
