In my experience, CPTSD survivors rarely "complain." When a survivor puts words to our experience, it's most often an attempt to understand it-- but that can make others feel awkward (or guilty), so we get told to keep our "complaints" to ourselves.
It's such bullsh*t.

Just because someone has known you a long time or happens to share your name or DNA, doesn't mean they understand what motivates you, moves you, or what you need.
Though they might very well understand precisely what buttons to push to trigger, manipulate, or demoralize you.

It is possible to abhor the act of murder, and also not to feel the slightest twinge of sympathy for a man whose message was that we have to accept an amount of gun violence and death to protect a mis-interpreted 2nd amendment.

![Farage policy plan 'risks Truss-style market chaos'
(Extract of article)
Nigel Farage’s plan to slash tax and increase benefits would cause a market shock up to twice the size of Liz Truss's mini-budget, independent economists have told The i Paper.
The Reform UK leader pledged yesterday to scrap the two-child benefit cap and fully reinstate winter fuel payments for pensioners,
He restated commitments to raise the personal tax threshold to £20,000 and introduce a more generous marriage allowance so one spouse would be exempt from paying tax on the first $25,000 of their income.
Challenged on how he would pay for his pledges, Farage said he could save "about £70bn a year" by scrapping net zero, ending the cost of housing asylum seekers, abolishing diversity schemes and cutting 5 per cent off the money spent on quangos.
"If you add all of that up, you've got a pretty eyewatering number of £350bn [over five years]," he said.
"That may be, I accept, slightly op-timistic, but I think you can see very clearly the direction we're going in." Independent economists questioned the credibility of the figures.
Simon French, chief economist at investment bankers Panmure Liberum, said many of the cuts had already been outlined in Reform's general election manifesto, which promised to slash spending by £150bn to fund £141bn of spending and tax cuts commitments](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c4xtyto7nrklhfkroyrsce2w/bafkreihikwappxjqvsnbzjzsqr5zzeunehnfigyv2v53opb2r4uzk4a2ti@jpeg)

US military museums, often pet projects of the ultra-wealthy, purport to provide accurate depictions of war. But even the most clear-eyed exhibits are problematic, even deadly.
