They would probably read you as being a snake.
And what are they?
They aren't any better, roaches
No, a cohesive force can defeat an empire. People like you are the ones who get picked off, and no one really cares because you're a self-absorbed relic of this degenerating, dying, sick society.
Yeah a "cohesive force" let's talk about that mister idealist
Have you seen people, these days? There's no cohesion it's every man for himself, everyday, in normal conditions, there's no honor, moral integrity is punished not rewarded, hypocrisy is a way of life now
They get along with each others because it's convenient and times are easy, add a little stress and poof, it's all gone, they are all about themselves
What happens when one of them gets assaulted? Most of the time the others look the other way
...
The only people you can decently trust are those who have a clear interest in keeping you around, those for whom you are useful, vital
Now the problem with that is when they are nothing to you but a burden
Better leave before shit starts to turn ugly for everybody
You can trust your own blood, too, eventually... I say eventually because I know a guy who's getting betrayed by his own daughter right now, over money, toilet paper
So imagine what it's going to be like when shit is actually going to get real
