Just some of the headlines for the last 24 hours.

New South Wales prisons refuse entry to The UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture because they never had permission.

Police and custodial officers have been accused of "brutally assaulting" a Tasmanian Aboriginal man in custody, allegedly leaving him "naked, in a pool of his own blood, for more than 12 hours".

Seems that way. Authoritarian "Regimes" are doing as they wish.
These headlines are just a few of the negatives reported daily.
We the citizen are punished severely for minor infractions while those in power can do as they wish without sanction.
 

Prison guards abusing prisoners is kind of built into prisons. There is a famous psychiatric. experiment, when college student pretended to be prison guards. The experiment had to be called off due to the savage brutality of the student guards. Human emotions being what they are, guards have to be continually monitored for abusive tendencies.

It is worrisome to witness how many countries ( masses of people ) are suffering today. The solution seems to be headed in an authoritarian direction for some odd reason. I can't quite understand how this is going to solve the issues of the masses. The wealthy keep getting more wealthy and their businesses are controlling the governments. They buy legislation. I am very sad that England just put in a multi-millionaire, without the people voting. The inequality gap seems to be widening and yet the stock market continues to rise, and corporations are getting bigger and more powerful each day.

That's the problem. Tax major corporations out of existence instead of destroying the middle class through inflation and taxation. :mad:
