In our time and culture, it has become extremely dangerous to speak the truth with your own identity. As yourself. This is because doing so is usually punished instantly; and the results include death, rape, isolation, hatred, bankruptcy, derision, beatings, and other depersonalizing and dehumanizing abuses. Now, I want you to think about this carefully. What it means to be a child in this situation. What it means to be an adult. A citizen. A human being. An animal.

Where just telling the truth is punishable by death.
