- bryanrasmussen 7mo agoonce you know the way to solve problems is to pay off the people with power you start to trust people again, because things are working the way you were told they would.

- bryanrasmussen 7mo agowell that everybody in power is corrupt, corruption is equally distributed through the system - the future has arrived!
- flipgimble 7mo agoBut they are not equal for everybody, that’s the point of corruption. If you are part of some in-group then you may have to pay lower bribes initially, and generally get away with more corruption to your benefit. But over time you will find yourself on outside eventually and enduring higher costs. Authoritarianism is inherently volatile, threatening and unpredictable, with only those in power making profit in the short term.
