They are hoping you just give up and be quiet. They keep pushing the boundaries of tolerance. Greed and what the greedy will do from a minority of parasites needs to be talked about, needs to be called out.

It’s really hard to not feel disheartened by the naked and blatant corruption that rich people can just get away with.
It’s very difficult not to feel as though there are no legal routes to any sort of justice for the way some people take advantage of others.
I know I should grow up, but it still makes me sad to see how happy some people are to screw over others.
Our water is being poisoned for money.
Our world is burning for money.
It’s just a very miserable day.

That wouldn’t be “growing up”. That would be giving in and accepting it.
People destroying other people’s lives and the world around them, for their own personal benefit and greed, should never be acceptable.

It was always like this throughout human history.
Representative democracy was supposed to create a balance. But representative democracy is failing because of :
- Citizens not paying enough attention
- Unlimited donations to political parties (Most European countries have a maximum cap)
- The voting system (FPTP)

No, you don't need to "grow up". You're right in feeling the way you do. Growing up in relation to that sounds like giving up. If anyone needs to grow up or give up is the people destroying Nature and people's lifes just so they can get more tokens in a rigged game that always benefits them.
