My great-grandma was born in 1935 in what is now Constanța County, Romania, then a kingdom, became communist in 1947. Broke up the family of her mom’s wealthy employer (mom was a maid at his beach vacation house) in order to marry him in the early 1950s and move to Bucharest, cheated on him with an even wealthier guy (this guy was wealthy from illegal means - black market; wasn’t a party member) / marries this dude, she becomes an informer for the Securitate (political police) and helps get him arrested, tortured and imprisoned when the system has had too much of him so she gets off scot-free in the 1980s and marries another wealthy guy (this time a wealthy higher up party member) who capitalizes on the regime change post-1989 (Revolution) to become filthy rich in the new capitalist landscape. In the 2000s this guy becomes ill and allegedly she had a part in him dying faster than he should’ve, inherits a fortune. Moves to Switzerland where she gets an younger boyfriend with whom she’s with to this day. She’s 90 now and faced no repercussions for her actions; lived a luxurious, leisurely, carefree life, never worked a day in her life.

    In this story, if it is real, karma happened multiple times. Just not to your great-granny.

    Your perspective needs a small shift.

    • The first guy will have broken up the family with someone else eventually.
    • The second guy was a criminal.
    • The third guy was a capitalist.

    None of them were good men. Karma was served in a way.

        People don’t want to wake up. They see horrors every day and look no further than the surface of them. They are horrified by things they do not even begin to understand. But they’ll push a narrative if you put it in front of them and they feel reasonably selfrighteous about it.

        That’s why nobody is out there actively eating the rich and becoming the Luigi they want to see in the world.
