> The entire system looks functional on the surface, but it’s so broken it’s nearly unbelievable
That's what I got from watching Deviant Ollam and a couple of the popular YouTube lawyers.
The justice system mostly serves those with money, and if you're working class the biggest predictor of whether you'll go to jail is how much time you spend in the radiation of this broken system. Don't stay close, don't stay long. Always have a lawyer ahead of time, don't talk to cops.
Ollam has a friend in prison now and she got beat very badly when she first went in. For a non violent crime of basically security research
Deviant Ollam is an inspiration. He can work a room like few can, and he seems genuinely kind and happy despite it all. That’s someone who I can learn from.
It’s been a long time coming, but I’m becoming radicalized by the idea of becoming a lawyer myself. The only way forward is through.
