hell is having the enemy switch out their tactics so as to seem more attractive but still sneering, seething and swamping inside. hell is the foe who sweetens the deal because they know more about what makes you tick than you are prepared to admit. hell is allowing an autocrat to step up to a podium with relentless coverage.

Autocrat: someone who insists on complete obedience from others.

Synonyms: dictator, despot, tyrant.
