How the State perpetuates trafficking.

It was difficult to write, so much so that I am posting a day late, but because I have not received feedback. It seems that I am writing for the walls, or just two people who very rarely comment or text me. I open topics to talk, ask what you think, know if someone thinks something but nobody comments ... It’s consuming my time and energy, exposing me to danger and I don't know if it's still worth it. Maybe I should invest in something else that gives me income, because my financial situation is terrible and I was only able to sell a single product that I made for the blog, it has not been advantageous ... When I share in some Reddit subs, I’ll get downvoted and I have already been banned from some other subs, so new people won’t know about what I’m writing... They already said that I am telling lies and doing drama, I was cursed for also talking about politics ... Well, let's go to maybe our last post.

If you are reading this here after a long time and want to say something, you can talk to me on instagram too, you can find me there as @ stonedprof1. I won’t post a poll for any next week’s post, if it happens, happens.

Poverty and Social Inequality = Ways to survive that escape the state control. This is true not only in Brazil, but everywhere in the world. Where social assistance does not help the most needy, crime proliferates. The people will not sit and die of hunger, they will fight for their survival. I am not saying that in the favelas everyone is a drug dealer, it is exactly the opposite, few enter the drug trafficking, but they usually enter for that reason. It is even difficult to judge when you put yourself in the position of these people, it is the only way for you to have real money when you are born in a favela. Very few, really very few manage to rise financially to a good level.

Our state harms the poor and helps the rich every day. It creates an illusion that those who do not live in the favela but still suffer from bills and lack of money are not poor, pitting these people against what is commonly called “Favelado”. Slavery ended 133 years ago and slaves were freed without any financial incentive from the state. Many preferred to continue working as slaves in exchange for home and food, many went to the hills and started working in bad jobs and heavy labor to try to survive. Today, it is no different. The descendants of these enslaved people still do not receive decent support, both financially and socially, they do not understand how they can ascend socially due to lack of information and, consequently, many continue to fall in the sale of drugs because that is what is left for them.

In addition, the state profits from trafficking as high-ranking people in the political and police hierarchy receive bribes to keep drug sales locations in peace. Some of the money goes back to them, and it happens from the country borders, where the drug enters, to the points of sale.

Our state is also bureaucratic, harming micro and small entrepreneurs. It is difficult to grow a company here, so it is difficult to hire people to work. It is even more difficult to hire people who have not had a chance to qualify professionally, whether with basic education, university or even professional education. Free courses today are scarce, face-to-face practically ceased to exist. How can the favela guy without internet access watch an online course? And what will he do if the free and face-to-face courses have been closed for years? Fact is: The goal is to make this population even more marginalized to keep them under control. This week, the government approved even higher taxes on books, making access to knowledge more expensive using the excuse that only rich people are interested in reading. And there are people rooting for this decision.

Well, I’m tired and I gave up on ever leaving this country, I won’t be able to have a really good life somewhere I’m not worried about being able to buy food next month.
