I was jumped by a group of guys outside of my school once in a completely unprovoked attack. Broke my nose and blood was everywhere.

Decided to press charges against the main guy and he fabricated this ridiculous story that I had been calling him racial slurs like "nipper" which is a term for Japanese people and I'd never even heard it before.

His family was so proud of him for standing up for their ethnicity in the face of racism.

I always like to think that Karma takes care of these guys one day.

Plenty of people. Entire generations were raised and indoctrinated on concepts like "You'll be homeless if you don't get a degree" and "You should invest and let your money work for you".

Then factor in pensions and retirement investments. ALL of this matters. This mind-blowing realization that it was all bullshit came well after we invested, got that degree, etc,. Those who can't see it are either from the generation who preached it or those fortunate enough to have dodged it themselves.

I don' have time to explain to you all the ways in which the justice system is corrupt, that's all readily available information. And yeah, being a coworker doesn't make you privy to every detail of someones life, but when you have knowledge of your coworkers abusing their power and breaking the law and do nothing about it, that makes you complicit in their wrong doing. Same with family members, or friends.
