Essay:Tyranny and responses

There's a multi-step process of tyranny and the response to it:


 * 1) Get slapped down by the system
 * 2) Complain and/or rebel
 * 3) Get slapped down harder for complaining and/or rebelling (and perhaps get told to "control your anger")
 * 4) Depression
 * 5) Acceptance
 * 6) Ratcheting up of tyranny to a new level (go back to step 1 and repeat)

Hmm, actually it's not that much different from the grieving cycle. After you get done grieving for one loss, there's eventually another loss and you start again.
