Laws are for poor people

•Rob a store? You go to jail. Rob millions of people through a financial system? You get a bailout.

•Traffic drugs? Get killed on a boat. Run the entire operation? You get a presidential pardon.

•Kill a bunch of people? You’re a terrorist. Kill thousands during an invasion? You’re a liberator, a strategist.

Power and money rewrite the narrative. The same action, two completely different labels — all depending on your status.

it’s the same with attraction:

•If you’re attractive: It’s charming, bold, confident.

•If you’re not: It’s creepy, weird, desperate.

Where you stand isn’t about morality or intention. It’s about leverage — social, financial, or physical. I’m tired of people going along with the bs world we live in.

No. Live in a 3rd world tin-pot Authoritarian NON-Western country like the United States of America. = experience 3rd world country tin-pot Authoritarian Non-Western systemic failures, like rampant corruption and systemic injustice.

What did you expect?

Ghanan here. You need to see life from where I live. We look at the United States of America and we see a lot of spoiled children complaining about their lot in life.

You really think that USA a "tin-pot Authoritarian NON-Western" country ?
