Why is exposing corruption not important for people?

After the recent protests in the Black Lives Matter movement and just following the whole story made me think and realize a lot of things in life. While I am very happy that the protests happened at such a large scale around the world for social justice and equality around the world and i'm happy for the people of color all around the world, it still beats me till today that people don't care at all about corruption and exposing the corrupt in the world!

When someone calls themselves a Social Justice Warrior (SJW) and they do crazy and irrational things like quitting their jobs because their CEO doesn't want to publicly support BLM (which they are in no way obliged to), I don't see a movement or even any discussion about corruption. If people were even half as passionate as they are about Black Lives Matter towards eliminating monetary and financial corruption, I think the world would be a much better place.

So, what can I do about this, you may ask.

  • Start talking about corruption, tax evasion, under the table deals etc like you talk about social justice. Bring it to your every day dinner conversations.

  • Respect the law of the land. You may feel like taxation is theft and I totally understand your viewpoint. If you feel taxation is theft in your country, get out of your country or fight the government but as long as you live in a country, you have to follow the law of the land. You should not break any rules. If you wish, you may even run for office as a libertarian and even make policy changes to eliminate taxes. But never break the law.

  • Expose corruption. Start doing your bit to eliminate it. If someone is asking you a bribe, record it using a secret microphone in your phone. Take pictures, videos. Use technology wisely. Make a difference, be the change.

  • When judging someone or giving them a free pass, look beyond skin color and ethnicity. Look at how they accumulated their wealth. Was it all legal? Was it all fair? If not bring that into political conversations in addition to race, ethnicity, sex etc.

Finally I want to end by saying, if people were even half as passionate about corruption and eliminating it, the world would be a much better place.

That's very true. That's why I am urging everyone to read the whole picture before coming to conclusions and also involve the financial aspect in addition to just the race aspect.

in addition to just the race aspect.

I'm not sure if I'm reading that correctly, are you saying to also judge people on race? Or was that sentence just phrased weird?

I meant to say that some people get the benefit of race while some don't. Those are some topics that are often easily talked about but no one talks about the money aspect!

Probably just wrong wording sorry!
