I don't think getting rich is moral tbh, I'd rather advise you that instead of a regular buisness you build up a cooperative with more people aligned with your interests, but I think my socialism is getting in the way of the point I was trying to make.

So, as I was saying, all changes in the political landscape have happened because people with power (be it control over the military, political power or money), wanted to. As I think you know, people won't change the system just because you give a really good argument or because a study contradicts their views, so if we want to do something we need power, we need institutions and we need money.

My philosophy has always been that if I'm surrounded by people who hate me and want to see me fail then the best response is to be happy and succeed because that p*sses them off. If I killed myself they'd be happy. If I'm angry and miserable then they're happy. If I'm feeling like a victim then they're happy. If I hate myself then they're happy. What really pisses anti's off is knowing that I'm happy and doing quite well in life.

So I say if you can, roll all that anger and frustration up into a ball and use it to motivate yourself. Study a course, start a business, change job, start investing, do something positive. Those anti's will still be angry and in their dead-end jobs and life spirals. Those LEA who help the anti's to hate on maps will still be working long hours for low salaries getting traumatised through spirals of hate and depression. Scr*w em, just show the middle finger and refuse to be dragged down.
