"People who view the legitimate progress made as some sort of vicious trick they must be on guard against, and treat the next generation of thinkers like you as hopelessly naive and some kind of sellout to the oppressor."

You really have a beautiful way of putting things Jen! Yes, I think this sums it up so well. Especially the feeling that progress is some kind of trick. That's why progress is so often generational. It's hard for people, especially people who suffered, to trust that change is real and update their model of the world.
