They may be repressed for some time, but everything repressed comes back tenfold.

I agree. What we repress, we empower. The energy we use to hold something back is an opportunity cost.

What I meant in the "they don't get what is coming to them" necessarily is, the social cost of their behavior. They will always know that they are broken themselves, unless pathological.

That was nearly an essay. I apologise for that.

I am the last one to complain about long form writing :D
