Yesterday I struggled all day to hold back tears.

What is happening in my country and to my country is shattering.

PLEASE LET US NOT MISTAKE DEMONIC EVIL FOR “MENTAL ILLNESS”. MOREOVER, LET US NOT CYNICALLY EXCUSE DEMONIC EVIL BY FALSELY LABELING IT. AND LET US NOT STIGMATIZE AND CRAVENLY ADD FURTHER INJURY TO THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM MENTAL ILLNESS!!!

Now I’m crying again.

It was not mental illness but misogyny, hated of other people who might take away from one's superiority and not caring about other human beings. Selfishness. Egotism. Greed. Wanting everything without wanting to work for it. Believing people should give you everything you want. Stupidity.
