 🧾⚖️Turns out, justice ain’t blind anymore. She’s squinting at your background, asking how you grew up, and filling in a form about your identity before she even looks at what you did.

🧍‍♂️ What You Do Matters Less Than Who You Are Now

For most of us, the deal used to be simple: break the rules, face the music. That was it. But now? It’s like someone changed the rules in the night. Quietly. Silently. No sign on the door.

The system still says everyone’s treated the same. But watch close. Some folks get second chances, others get the book thrown at them—and the difference isn’t always about what they did. It’s about which box they tick. Where they’re from. What group they’re in. Whether the system decides they’ve already “had it hard.”

And if the system feels bad for you? That might soften the blow. But if it doesn’t? Buckle up.

They call this “context.” Sounds fair, right? Until you realise “context” isn’t always something you choose. It’s something they decide for you. Behind closed doors. On forms you never filled out, but somehow already signed.

And when people start thinking the rules bend for some and snap for others—that’s when trust dies. Fast.

It’s not fair play anymore. It’s role play.

And here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: if justice starts handing out rewards or punishments based on who you are instead of what you did, we don’t have justice anymore. We’ve got a talent show. And the judges already picked their favourites.

You feeling it too? Like the game’s rigged and you didn’t get the new rulebook? Tell us. Comment on the blog, not just your Facebook feed. The system’s counting on your silence.
