We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

I was chatting with with my bro today. I asked "how do you just - do that heinous shit?" I remarked that I could never do what they did to those people if i got rich and powerful.

He's like "you sure? How do you know you wouldn't?"

And the more i think about it, I'm not so sure. Are we all just monsters forced to be good by the status quo? Are we brainwashed to be good? Is being evil the best way to live and we're all just suckers?

I honestly feel sick thinking about the implications.

How can good ever win? What the hell can we do?

Sorry for the cringy rant but I'm pretty broke up about it.

For a while I had enough money that I could have done a lot of evil shit. Doing evil shit makes me really sad, though. So, I didn’t do any evil shit.

It’s about that simple. Some people don’t feel sad when they do evil shit. If those people happen to be rich (often getting there by doing evil shit, because capitalism rewards evil behavior), they do a lot more evil shit.

Those people who don't feel sad for doing evil shit have an easier time gathering power, because they'll do evil shit to get it.
