Truth
We demonize the serpent in the grass, branding it as the ultimate emblem of deceit and pure, unadulterated evil, yet we reserve our highest pedestals for the bloodless vipers currently legislating our ruin from gilded halls. These modern figureheads — our supposed leaders — are the true predators, systematically evicting families from their homes while smiling for the evening news, peddling fabricated truths and hollow, pathetic promises that inflict far deeper wounds than any wild beast ever could. They do not merely oppress us; they weaponize us against one another, masterminding a calculated fracture that herds the working class into two foaming, warring factions so we tear each other apart while the elite quietly pick our bones clean.
