Some time after my girlfriend rescued me from slavery, she started activism to reveal to the world about the horrible regime that enslaved me. When no one would listen to her, she turned to vandalism with extremely offensive graffiti. That got attention.
Unfortunately, her core message was buried by the media, and all the attention went to the innocent people who were offended by her speech. Anyone else who wanted to talk about the slavery regime were silenced. There was even a march in the city with thousands of people, repeating rhyming chants about hunting my girlfriend down and spilling her blood.
High atop a multi-storey car park, my girlfriend and I hung out leisurely by her car. We could hear the chanting below and we were listening to the different radio stations talk about how much of a monster she was. Even the pirate radio stations were talking about how they wanted to get rid of her in explicit detail.
She looked down on them all and smiled. I looked at her. She was amazingly calm at all this. I asked how she could be so calm and she said "I don't care about anyone except for you"
