>>12649749The entire world culture is a work.
Everything is a work.
"Social standing" is a work.
"Reputation" is a work.
People don't like honesty because they have to work an angle against it to maintain their fake fucking social kayfabe of being a morally upstanding good citizen.
They also despise honesty because a lot of the time, honesty rings the bell and counts the pinfall on deception, making the straight shooter the babyface and putting him over with God, therefore pulling the curtain on these fake fucking shitwits' kayfabe storyline.
