    This is like expecting the king to persecute themselves in medieval times.

    It’s not even conjecture but actually proven - multiple times, even including through a scientific journal - that the ultra wealthy are the ones writing the law in the USA. Americans wouldn’t see justice through the legal system. Heck their president has violated the law multiple times and gotten virtually nothing. That’s not counting all the others who have broken the law and received no or virtually no punishment, like Elon Musk.

    I’m not the person you’re responding to, but if I did still live in the USA, my parents would completely understand, since they’re from El Salvador originally and had to leave when the government there started the civil war and called the USA for backup in murdering people who just wanted to be paid enough to eat or be worked to death in the fields like one of my uncle’s.

    So good for you that you’ve lived such a cushy pampered life that you can even think the way you do. And pray that the building anger there, or wherever you may be, never boils over because of rising injustice. Because asshats like you will be included in the fires that break out. And unlike those who’ve suffered, you’re nothing more than a weak sapling when hard times come, and your survival then will have been by chance if you are so lucky.

    So go ahead, egg those people on. They’re the ones more likely to be just fine when hell breaks loose. You only encourage your own misery when you try to push them further. Even places like Russia are starting to see their dues come in, so not even being a paid troll will be safe for long. Righteous fury is slow to build but impossible to stop once it explodes.
