    What’s missing from your analogy is that if you try to run away and fail, your mom will beat you even more - and both your parents spent their whole lives rigging the house so you wouldn’t get away. And if you manage to, any other person you talk to in the street will turn out to be an undercover security officer who will take you back to the house.

    It is 100% a hostage situation - you either let them have their way and accept a miserable life, or they force their way and you live a miserable and painful life.

    Of course the ideal solution is to get away. But how? Simply trying to walk out the front door every 4 years is not really working.

      You get all your siblings to band together and beat mom and dad’s ass. Organization is the only way to defeat tyranny from the inside.
