Democracy, which is supposed to be government of the people, for the people, and by the people, is now the new way for modern slavery. The government of my country, under the pretense of democracy, are taking citizens through hell. The situation we are in is a situation of smiling in pain.
The government, which is supposed to look out for us, are the ones tearing us apart. The currency does not have much value, inflation is on the high side, and the prices of things are triple the price it was at the beginning of the year.
The citizens speaking seems they are shouting into a void. It seems democracy has been used as a cover for either military rule or other forms of oppression that do not listen to the people. Those in power want to keep fooling the people and continue ruling under the tag of democracy.
It's not easy to think positively with the current economy talk less about starting out on your own because there are certain opposing government policies and oppositions too. What people do is adjust to the hardships.
People start looking for side incomes, working three jobs at once, trying to make ends meet, always on the go to work, neglecting their health and neglecting their emotions. A lot of people are even emotionally unstable, but they can't talk about it because that's not what's on the ground. You have a family to feed, you have responsibilities to take care of.
Political instability is the major cause of current economic hardship. The government is stabbing us while hugging us. Do you think political instability is the major course or something else?
The situation is the same in my country, prices are going up, rent is going up, and people have to work more but get paid less. Political instability is one part of the puzzle, the real reason behind modern-day slavery is capitalism to my mind. Rich people became monopolists and are exploiting the working class. People in politics try to earn money and power, that's all they want and create shady businesses with other rich people, they are trying to empty our pockets and fill their pockets. Another problem is that we can't unite. In my country, if someone protests working conditions, other people will use that as an opportunity to get employed or step up by showing loyalty to the company.
The situation is terrible and we lack good people in politics. In my country, if you say that let's protest economic issues, no one will stand with you to protest but if you say protest LGBT issues, then thousands of people will stand by your side immediately and politicians use that as a tool to stay in power and make us stay in poverty.
