When the poor commit even the smallest violation—like street vendors selling on the “wrong” side of the road—the state responds with destruction. Their carts are smashed, their livelihoods wiped out, and their families left hungry the very next day. Leaders call this “peace and order.”
But when the rich are accused of stealing billions from public funds, the response takes a different shape. Citizens who protest are told to hold back. And when public anger finally spills over, officials are quick to brand it as “mob rule.”
This is the double standard. Against the poor, the law is swift and merciless. Against the rich, the law is cautious and protective. What we call peace and order is, in truth, a system that punishes the powerless while shielding the powerful.
