Politics

There was a time years ago when I used to be more into social justice and fighting for what I thought was right for my community. But over time I’ve become apathetic,😐 more willing to give into the demands of political power, more interested in how I can get my own cut and better my own life rather than change society for the better.

Maybe it’s a cynical decision but I’ve learned over the years that usually powerful people win and while organized groups can put pressure on the powerful, its often better to play along and skim off what you can 💩without actively opposing things that you disagree with.

I’ve also learned that a lot of regulations and official policies are about bluster and making a statement rather than enacting change.👾Unpopular policies enacted to please a certain constituent group often go largely unenforced when it comes to implementing them.

Ultimately while I would like to make our country a better place to live, I’m satisfied with just improving my own life and 🤑 the conditions I live in. Decisions I make myself about my own life are often more impactful at least to myself than any social cause I might take up.
