    As I grow older and looked more closely at how stuff work in society, I am disappointed, that in many places it does work exactly like this.

    sure, in developed countries many “normal” peoel also have many rights, but that’ll end quickly if you seriously try to mess with the establishes power structures

      I’d argue it’s actually “most places” rather than “many”. It’s not so obvious in day-to-day life but like if I had to take an ambulance tonight, me and my estate would be on the hook for the bill, but a billionaire would not be.
