I understand you. I have the similar experience from different country. "Everyone steals but at least he is not THEM". The worst part of this all is that I feel how I slowly sliding into pure cynism. I just can't sympathize for some people if their problems are their own decisions over and over. For example one of the ministers in our government sold fake cancer treatments to sick people. It's just forgotten.

These politicians who do not provide results and are just confidently talking nonsense still get voted. By the people.

People are indeed just tribal unga bunga monkes which learned to walk, talk and do stupid shit. Some more than others.
