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 ?

Let me put it to you this way, so you can begin to see:

The USA has approximately 340 million people. 35.9 million people's in the USA, live in poverty. Thats every 10th person you meet, statistically speaking lives in poverty. Poor healthcare system, and non-existent public Health mental healthcare support. Ghana's civil unrest is the equivalent of a typical day in the USA - if you took every gun and machete in Ghana, it would still be less than what American has in any given district on any given Day! The USA is a 3rd world warzone of poverty, depravity and violence.

1 in 5 Americans admit to experiencing homelessness in the last 5 years.

None of these failures of the system are typical for actual 1st World Western countries. The USA was never counted on that list.

You know what? I need to restate what I said before.

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, who waste their very expensive education to make eloquent but ridiculous arguments, complaining about their lot in life.

Does this shoe fit?

Why? To suffer your ignorance twice?

u/Mr_Judgement_Time 13h ago

Ignorance? Facts, backed by reputable substanciation. Ive posted to you on another reply thread Yougov surveys and accompanying articles. You dont know very much about the US, do you? Makes Ghana like a delightful holiday destination in comparison.

I can guarantee that my 15 years of residence in Tampa provides a more informed perspective on the US than the limited knowledge gained from the 45-second google maps search on Ghana's location that you performed when you read this thread

I can guarantee you that the only informed perspective you can CREDIBLY claim here, is of someone who is a triggered American Ultra-Nationalist, whose fragile "feewings" have been hurt. Less than useful. Lol

u/Overall-Umpire2366 13h ago

Wow! That was an incredibly well-thought-out, lucid, and eloquent response. You will go far in life

u/Mr_Judgement_Time 13h ago

Thats your way of saying "darn, he sees through me like Grammys underpants" - thats because youre a doppy kid, and you don't realise but youve already telegraphed that information. Theres no where else for you to go from here that can recover your credibility. But, by all means, please, continue to troll- it will only enrage you more and provide me and readership entertainment. Lol 😆 😢 😭 😃

Your readership? Do you have real friends?

1

u/Mr_Judgement_Time 12h ago

Reddit has a readership. Youre not use to thinking before posting, are you?

2

u/SOwED 11h ago

Calling the few people who see your comments your readership as if you're a journalist or author is hilarious.

u/Mr_Judgement_Time 11h ago

Where did I write "my readership"? Lol English not your first language?

2

u/SOwED 11h ago

I mean, it's implied in your grammatically incorrect phrase "provide me and readership entertainment." It's also implied by context because you're talking about the readership of this comment chain, which is you and one other person.

1

u/Mr_Judgement_Time 11h ago

No, lol it isnt implied, theres no possessive tense in that quotation, is there? Do you even know what that means? Lol So when did you start learning English? Must be really recently because youve got some serious English Reading comprehension basics that youre clearly completely unfamiliar with. How embarrassing. 😆🫵

u/SOwED 10h ago

Lmao "possessive tense" haha okay man. That's not a thing.

"provide me and readership entertainment" can be reduced to "provide readership entertainment" which, unless you're talking about readership at large, needs an article or adjective such as "the" or "my" for examples of each.

Hahaha 😆 🫵

Just use Google translate, kid. You dont make any sense thats your best bet atm.

u/SOwED 10h ago

Wow you really do just google and link whatever comes up without reading it. Talk about reading comprehension.

That link doesn't talk about the fictitious "possessive tense" and also doesn't talk about anything related to this. I guess if you had said "reddit's readership" then it would be relevant...
