How do we accept that evil people do better in this world? - Lemmy.World

It really seems honesty and kindness get you nowhere. I’ve spent hundreds of hours volunteering. I donated money to good causes when I had it. I spoke up for others. But I have nothing for it. No one will wish me happy birthday this year. No one will ever do any of the things that I did for others for me. While evil people succeed. Narcissists can charm others into playing along with their world, people who do their jobs poorly will keep them. Hard work, honesty, really any of those “positive” values seem to get you nowhere in life.

You don’t. You buy guns and genocide.

I lost my right to buy guns recently, because reporting a troubled teen facility for physical abuse is “stalking.” Funny how a civil trial, where you have no right to a lawyer, means you lose your rights.

I didn’t say anything rights…

Very frankly, there’s no situation in which you’d lose your right to own firearms just by reporting credible allegations about a healthcare facility to law enforcement or regulatory authorities. We can only assume there’s quite a bit more to this story

“Quite a bit more” yeah they could afford lawyers and I couldn’t.

But yeah , thanks for taking the side of the people who diddled me as a kid, hadn’t had enough of that lately

Have you red elan.school ? Just reading that crushed me and I don’t think I would be able to survive that. Sorry for whatever happened to you. You’re a strong person for just surviving that and even more so for still trying to be a good person.

Since I’ve read that: elan.school I can believe that the whole system is rigged and people in power can easily use it to take away rights. Don’t know about this specific case but there will always be systemic abuse with which the wealthy and the ones in power can suppress their victims unfortunately.
