Some people

They are technically grown-ups but they have teeny enraged little children inside and they really really have to express that...

Teeny children! You deserve better!

Were you around older people who acted like they had the right to be abusive &  then thought they could escape from any consequences for their choices by talking about how great their abusiveness is for much bigger and nobler reasons...

Like wouldn't this seem funny on one's deathbed.
