          Lost forever means it is lost and cannot be regained. So yes, defeated and given up is what it sounds like. There is nothing in that semtemce to indicate you’re willing to fight because the loss is done and it’s gone forever.

              On that we can absolutely agree. The myth was dispelled for me after reading Trail of Tears in highschool. One of the biggest hurdles to change is the majority of citizens being completely unaware of US history outside of the whitewashed jingoistic version where the US are the good guys instead of thr complicated truth that for almost our entire history our country has been exploiting one population or another.
