	13	+Claiming that we must defend solutions because there are no alternatives creates an action/inaction binary that conceals the suffering that so-called solutions cause. Warren 2:
	14	+Black nihilism is a “demythifying” practice, in the Nietzschean vein, that uncovers the subjugating strategies of political hope and de-idealizes its fan- tastical object.

	18	+Political solutions exist in an unrealized future creating a “trick of time” as black people are told that it will get better even though it never does. Hoping for a better future conceals evidence of failure. Warren 3:

	33	+As black people are told that it will get better if they just struggle more, political hope creates ressentiment, torment without relief, and the black body continues to suffer. Warren 6:
