When did you realize that all laws are made to benefit the rich and/or oppress the rest of us, and a politician's job is to write the laws and sell them to the voters?

I guess I haven’t yet. Maybe you can help me: How do laws against, for example, rape, only benefit the rich while oppressing the rest of us?

Few years ago. Right before this face of the genocide in Palestine. I had an idea of it before that but I wouldn’t have called it a conscious thought until then.

I understand why someone might think that, but it’s not true, except perhaps in the most corrupt of countries.

They don’t always write the laws, sometimes they let lobbyists do that and pass them without reading

This statement without context (country, time, etc.) is absolutely false and therefore worthless.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. I just realized there’s no legal way to earn money without getting fucked or fucking others over.

Late 70's, just after I started working. My then Union rep. ( Remember them?) was a good teacher and saw Thatcher for exactly what she was.

There's literally not a law or crime the rich can't buy them selves out of.

[@DarrinBrunner](https://lemmy.world/u/DarrinBrunner) the fact that the 47 U.S. President is still in power at the time of posting, and that zoning laws make urban environments sterile and unsafe for everyone, and only a conglomerate of companies benefit from this urban sprawl
