    I regret reading the youtube comments. What a cesspool.

    Anyway, I think that he did the right thing here, exposing the issue without putting his arse behind a legal battle. A judiciary system is part of a government, and a government is not made for the population, it’s made to ensure the continued control of a ruling class over it. Under capitalism this means that the law will typically side with corporations against random nobodies like him.

      Its arguably correct as of this point in time but the situation has gotten worse in the last few decades and up until now there is no real reason to see it getting any better. There are efforts though.

      However, this is exactly what this community is for. We push and ask for the elites to be dismantled. We cant change stuff without help. Either by posting, funding or discussing ideas.

      So please consider doing any of the above so we can rid the world of the cancer that are billionaires.

        I should have clarified that I was focusing on an individual level.

        On a collective level it’s exactly like you said, we [people in general] need to organise ourselves and get rid of this cancer.

          I agree that there is no use in burning yourself out by fighting legal battles alone, against a huge enemy that does not play by the same rules as you do.

          I do however want to warn against uncritically stating that this is the system we‘re in because it can give the impression that this is not changeable.

          It is changeable and it has been changed, many times. But we need to understand that this does not work passively by believing it will. We all are needed. We need to encourage speaking up, rallying, even punishing this behavior by an means necessary.
