    yep! pretty straightforward but for some reason the populus has chosen the whole “bUt It’S a PaRadOx” schtick instead of this very clear cut line of thinking.

    imagine if i insisted on calling my landlord breaking my lease contract resulting in me moving out and stopping rent payments a “paradox.”

    or what if historians called the US breaking of the Treaty of Fort Laramie resulting in the end of the peace a “paradox?”

    least persuasive and reasonable way to express it ever. frankly laughably so. “play <rights violations> games, win <rights violations> prizes”
