Society collectively needs to stop making excuses for awful behaviour.
There are BILLIONS of people around the world who grew up in suboptimal conditions and they don't use it as an excuse to be a criminal or degenerate.
Tolerance of evil isn't a virtue.

Today my country Peru is making one of the most important decisions in its history.
I've watched Peru become a political punchline for the last decade.
We’ve had 9 presidents in 10 years.
NINE.
But that's not even the most insane part.
Every elected Peruvian president since 1985 is either in jail, has been in jail, or has faced arrest.
Lets go down memory lane:
Alberto Fujimori — 25 years in prison for human rights violations and corruption.
Alejandro Toledo — sentenced to 20 years for money laundering. Spent years hiding in the US before being extradited back to Peru.
Alan García — two-time president. Shot himself in the head the moment police came to arrest him for corruption. Died.
Ollanta Humala — sentenced to 15 years for money laundering linked to Venezuela and Brazil's Odebrecht scandal.
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski — resigned, arrested, sentenced. House arrest at 80 years old.
Martín Vizcarra — impeached, banned from public office.
Pedro Castillo — tried to dissolve Congress in a live TV address, was arrested the same day, sentenced to prison.
Peru even built a special jail exclusively for ex-presidents …
This is a country where power itself has become a crime scene.
And today, AGAIN Peruvians are being asked to choose between two options:
Keiko Fujimori. Hard right. Daughter of a convicted authoritarian who ruled by fear, forced sterilizations, and death squads. She's been on trial for corruption herself three times. This is her fourth attempt at the presidency.
Roberto Sánchez. Hard left. Calling for a new constitution, restructuring the economy, and redistribution. The kind of language that sounds like justice to a desperate population.
Here's what nobody wants to say out loud:
When a country is THIS unstable, THIS exhausted, THIS broken that's exactly when the left wins. Not because people want socialism nor because they studied Venezuela or Cuba or Nicaragua.
Because people are so shattered by decades of corruption, betrayal, and chaos that they will vote for ANYTHING that promises something different.
That's a historical pattern that has repeated itself across Latin America for 60 years.
The conditions don't start with a dictator.
They start with a population that stopped believing anything could get better.
They start with a people so beaten down they stop asking what is being promised and just need someone to promise something.
I love Peru. I'm Peruvian. My family is Peruvian. I was born there. And that is exactly why this terrifies me. A beautiful country, with insane resources…
The people of Peru don't need a new constitution.
They need leaders who don't belong in a prison cell built specifically for leaders like them.
History doesn't warn you twice. Pray for peru. 🇵🇪
Boycotting them is more realistic, but still very hard.
In the end, I think it comes down to ethics and having an ethical code with carefully aligned incentives.
Most governance structures can function reasonably well when those with power subscribe to a higher ethical code, in my opinion.
That’s a difficult problem to solve though.
Instead, we often get cycles where religion, ideology, and identity are used to justify conflict rather than a shared spiritual and ethical framework that people genuinely adhere to.
This leads to recurring boom-and-bust cycles, both economic and ethical.
My solution is to exit where possible and live according to your own ethical code, while building the safeguards needed to protect yourself and coexist with others through tolerance, clear boundaries, and a well-defined approach to self-defense.
In the end, I think it’s a spiritual war with oneself.
Being answerable to a higher purpose and a higher form of governance.
This is ultimately a philosophical debate, but I believe life is a test of how we respond to good and evil, and whether we create more good than evil through our actions.
I also believe money carries embedded energy.
Depending on how it was acquired, invested, and used, it can amplify either the good or the bad within us.
🇺🇸🇮🇱 US Claims "Not" Involved in Israeli Strike on Iran are False
▪️Isreal doesn't exist militarily without constant and complete US support - every plane, bomb, shred of intel comes from the US just like with Ukraine;
▪️US policy papers have described in detail how to use Israel to wage war on Iran and maintain plausible deniability;
▪️If you're still falling for this propaganda you probably aren't interested in the truth...
🇺🇸/IRAN - US-Israeli Strikes on Iran & Wider Regional Conflict
There are NO real negotiations taking place. The US has ZERO interest in peace or making a "deal" with anyone.
The US goal is to permanently reduce energy production from the region, as well as weaken and maintain pressure on Iran.
In this sense, at the moment the US is succeeding. It has reduced energy production and exports from the region, forcing Asia into greater energy dependence on the US while forcing China to replace up to half of its energy imports it previously received from the Middle East.
Iran's ability to import and export has also been reduced in addition to the military strikes, internal subversion, and decades of sanctions applied to it by the US.
Maintaining this process requires knocking everything over every couple of weeks or months since the US and its proxies don't have the ability to wage high-intensity warfare for protracted periods of time.
Neither does Iran.
Negotiations are for both sides to try to rebuild/rearm/reorganize as much as possible between escalations.
For the US, negotiations are used to avoid high-intensity protracted warfare it cannot maintain.
Escalations might stay just below the threshold of all out war or occasionally move into wider war as it has already done in 2025 and earlier this year.
This process favors the US unless Iran and its allies can actually enhance their position amid this pressure from the US over time.
Iran is rebuilding and rearming, but just enough to survive at this point. This could change, but not at the moment.
The US will maintain this approach unless Iran collapses or Iran and its allies can build up sufficient capabilities to break this cycle.
If you're wondering how long this might go on for, look at the US proxy war on Russia in Ukraine...
Thirty-seven years have passed since the events of June 4, 1989, and yet the Chinese government continues to devote enormous resources to preventing people from remembering it. That fact alone should tell you how significant the event remains.
