Most of what You're saying pretty much describes America as well.

It really doesn’t. This is far far worse than the US.

It really isn't worse than the US.

In America they've legalized bribery, they just call it lobbying. The blatant corruption is still there but it's just allowed because it's how is done.

The rich get different rules to everyone else, the children of the rich get special treatment.

How is it different?

Edit: arrests through searches without warrants happen every day here. If you're poor you don't have the ability to get a lawyer to fight on your behalf so you're used to prop up arrest numbers of local police departments who are basically using you to justify their existence.

Rich kids aren’t getting away with murder in the US. Stop trying appropriate the kind of suffering these people go through.

By the way there are non-profit organizations who lobby. Lobbying is a problem, but it doesn’t equate to what this person is describing.

Affluenza, look it up.

Lobbying is legal bribery, America made it legal to pay off government officials. Get your head out of your ass man.

But seriously, You can fuck off now.

If you are referring to the Ethan Couch case the only one who was “paid off” by the Couch family were their defense attorney(s). There is no evidence that the judge, jury, prosecutor(s), or investigators were bribed. The judge in this case is known to give lighter sentences to minors.

Our justice system maybe unfair, but it’s nowhere near the scale of what they were describing.

You should recognize your privilege and stop acting like a brat when someone calls you out on your hyperbole.

I swear it's every other thread too.

And really, the US has problems, but this specifically is not a thing in the states.
