“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

SWANK Statement No. 020: They Don’t Get It Because They Don’t Want to Get It

SWANK Statement No. 020: They Don’t Get It Because They Don’t Want to Get It

Let’s end the illusion of confusion.

They understand.

They just don’t want to understand.

Because to understand would mean taking responsibility, admitting bias, or—heaven forbid—correcting themselves.

This is not a communication issue.

It’s a willful refusal to perceive.

They don’t get it because:

  1. It’s easier to say you’re “concerned” than to say you’re wrong.
  2. It’s safer to pretend you’re confused than to face what you’ve ignored.
  3. It’s institutionally acceptable to misunderstand a parent—but career suicide to admit the system is flawed.

So no, we will not explain ourselves again.

We will not soften the truth or dull the edge of documentation.

At SWANK, we no longer translate reality for people committed to distortion.

We write it down.

We timestamp it.

We publish it.

Because they get it.

They just hope you stop saying it before someone else hears.
