Well, I would say that it is an insurmountable systemic problem if the system allows—or rather, explicitly provides for—the idea that those who don’t have enough money are not entitled to justice. This contradicts the fundamental principle of any democratic state governed by the rule of law. And that is precisely the starting point of Ben’s videos: someone is clearly being robbed, but cannot defend themselves because they have less money than the criminal.

This fact alone shows how absurd the U.S. system is—and that’s just the beginning of the first video. Everything that follows is the reality of this system, which allows—or rather, makes it a logical consequence—that the U.S. president is the person he is.

This is not due to tribal affiliation or the like. It is the result of a constitution written by large landowners for a country where slavery was legal. By the way, in case you didn’t know: The U.S. Constitution is the hardest to amend of all the democratic countries in the world. That is why it is also the least-amended democratic constitution in the world. In other words: It continues to cement the conditions of 250 years ago to this day. What U.S. citizens are experiencing today is merely the consequence of that.

Added to this is just how corrupt the legal system and the executive branches are.

All in all, this results in a state of injustice, which should be perfectly obvious to everyone today. I mean, the U.S. president is obviously more of a mafia godfather than anything that could still be called a politician with a mandate to represent some interests, let alone the people.

This country is an oligarchy that has as little to do with democracy as Russia does.

Ben’s video demonstrates this in a way that should make it quite obvious to everyone. This is not the exception, it is the rule.
