Ask the ghosts of a million massacred native Americans if the social contract matters. Their silence is your answer.
The "social contract" is gaslighting, blaming the victims of state violence when they are at best made to sign under duress and at worst simply oppressed. It is the words of an abuser to their golden child.
I know as a former golden child how hard it can be to face it. Our acceptance of their narrative has kept us safe at times, and to see that liberalism is gaslighting means giving up on that layer of protection. The state can hurt us, the state will hurt us, but the one way out is... not safe to write down within its walls.
