DAYLIGHT LOYALISTS TO DARKNESS
I choose to call them daylight loyalists to darkness: people who see roads rising, salaries stabilizing, institutions recovering, Aba breathing again, and governance returning to evidence, yet still choose bitterness over truth. They are not critics; they are voluntary blind men in broad daylight, condemning light because it exposes their old darkness. They are moral absentees, truth dodgers, conscience deserters, professional despoilers of good, and political undertakers of hope. When performance stands before them and they still deny it, they are no longer analysts. They are curators of convenient blindness, frightened by facts and allergic to progress.
