Except for this example in which you shared a Biden explicitly not getting away with something. Im a bit suspicious that you didn’t at all read what was in the image, and just saw a picture of Hunter and clicked “share”
How do I !RemindMe on Lemmy so I can come back here when absolutely nothing happens to him. They’ll turn up an actual alien carcass on CSPAN before they put any of them in jail.
The plural of anecdote is not data. One outlier doesn’t change a decades long trend. (They say that a lot with climate change, where one cool summer doesn’t mean it isn’t happening, and one cool day definitely doesn’t mean it isn’t happening)
Hunter was actually about to get away scot-free, and it was only because his counsel did something so unimaginably egregious as directly defraud the court by sending a fraudulent email purporting to be from the state prosecutor to get an inconvenient piece of data removed from the record did he lose his sweetheart deal.
Every other data point until now says that any time this crime family is caught doing something bad the entire global establishment is there to bail them out including dropping charges that would stick for anyone else, hundreds of intelligence officials signing a letter claiming a true piece of evidence was faked by Russia, impeaching a sitting president for just mentioning it to another president, and overall the media and the police and the courts giving them sweetheart deals to keep any consequences from happening.
It’s crazy how a political party that sees privilege in Appalachian trailer parks magically goes three monkeys when it’s a former vice president’s son.
Neither the original post nor my comment is discussing the trend of wealth elites getting away with criming.
The OP is an anecdote of someone very clearly not getting away with something being used as an example of how people get away with things. Of all the examples in the world of wealthy elites getting away with things, using Hunter not getting a plea deal as an example was a choice so poor it edges on satire.
Even with everything that happenes here he’s a son of a privileged elite. This is just a show, he’ll get off with a slap on the wrist if anything, Just like all the other times.
This is exploding-heads. We look at the mass corruption in the system every day and we see it in action. It’s that context under which you need to understand such a post. Reality right now is a giant black pill, and even if it looks like something is getting better it’s usually just a lie meant to placate people.
