In the USA, some politicians or leaders have been able to get away with the most egregious and unbelievable of crimes, again and again simply because the orchestrated them, but they are not the one that actually committed them. Someone else in their network was the one actually doing it, even if they orchestrated it and pulled all the strings like a sly jester. Because of this, you see people in positions of power that should require high moral standing and exemplary personal accountability, who are just corrupt, and openly bad people. Take Matt Gaetz as an example. He’s been accused of some pretty awful things, and despite that, was elected to the House of Representatives, and later appointed as attorney general, the highest position of legal authority in the USA. There is nothing moral or upstanding about this person.

So how in the world are the future generations of the world supposed to know what is right or wrong, if those concepts don’t even exist anymore? If you can go do all sorts of horrible things and then get elected as someone who represents the entire country, what kind of message does that send to the rest of society? That there’s no accountability, that breaking the law is okay as long as you get away with it, And it also gives someone else out there in the world someone to look up to and to aspire to be more like. It gives people who make bad decisions and icon to admire and idolize. It allows other people to seek similar positions of power, and other corrupt people to vote for them, creating a very vicious cycle.

But the actual stupid question: How our younger people supposed to know what’s right or wrong anymore then? Our entire belief system of right and wrong was formulated based on doing the right thing no matter what, and having punishments for people who don’t. Seems like the world has moved away from that, and there is no more punishment, even rewards for people who do terrible things. I don’t understand how the younger generation is supposed to learn and understand
