In this era, I feel like I’m in the Good Place: it’s impossible to make “good” ethical choices while engaging with modern world. Every day, some platform or artist is found supporting blood money, genocide, unfair labor, treats other artist/collaborators like shit, exploitation… Then we all have to pivot to some obscure alternative with its own issues, lest we be immoral internet users.
I’m so tired of all this shit… /rant
Realistically, sue. There’s a lot of violations happening, prima facie. I am not a lawyer, not legal advice.
In real reality, for these people? Nothing. The building was in disrepair, so feds knew it was low income folks. They don’t have a lawyer on speed dial.
Fascism is coupled tightly with capitalism, in the sense of hierarchies of money/capital & money’s utility being a foil to the state’s power. If you have enough money, you can evade most issues in a fascist world, especially if you are not part of the out group. If you are in the out group, you’d need a lot of money, even on a clear cut case.
People like Schindler and Paul Rusesabagina were successful business men. Their connections to the regime and capital accrued allowed them to save people. Most couldn’t save themselves. How do you save a group? Have a bunch of money. How do you get money? Exploit the situation (and perhaps, the people).
