It is not a shit that "poverty produces evil", and it is not that poor people are born with inferior genes for crime, but that it is better for the powerful to commit crimes to be covered up.
In the first film of the elite army, we see the crimes in the slums of Brazil, where corrupt policemen and drug lords succumb to each other, and the benefits are divided. Elite troops with high combat effectiveness, they fight criminals, and even more relentlessly fight against corrupt colleagues, without a trace of official protection. It is the easiest thing to watch the gods coming from heaven to eliminate criminals and eliminate corruption.
But in the second film, all this quickly turned into a fairy tale. The protagonist and his troops in the second film are naturally relentless and continue to fight against drug lords. They hope to eliminate the source of the corrupt police's profit. If they don't sell drugs, what else can they embezzle?
However, the economic crisis quickly inspired the wisdom of corrupt policemen, who began to intervene and corrupt everything where the drug lords were wiped out. Watch limited TV and get the money. Use tap water and get the money. Go online and get money. Change the gas and get the money. Not everyone smokes drugs, but everyone has to drink tap water. In addition, drug lords have to use guns to grab business, and those who buy gas can just light up their batons.
So a paradox arises: the elite troops fight against the drug lords, the drug lords are gone, the corrupt police are stationed, and the poor are oppressed more cruelly than the drug lords. The more chaotic slums, the best places for the poor to live. The more stable the area, the place where the poor are not oppressed everywhere.
The goal of the elite force is to eliminate corruption, but it spreads it; if it wants to liberate the people, it makes the people suffer more and more organized violence.
Where is the problem?
The problem is that although the elite troops are invincible, they belong to the same system as the corrupt police. A system established to oppress the people and suck blood.
This can also solve the problem of Yue Fei's fight against gold in Chinese history, but the suppression of peasant uprisings is also impressive. Hai Rui was honest all his life, but he could be cruel to kill his own children. Because they are all a system, although they deviate from the mainstream of corruption, they inevitably have to play the role of fueling the flames and escorting them.
Let us think about it again. Now some people use "stability" as an excuse to ask the poor to sit down and obey the people. To cite another extreme example, why do lords use the guise of upholding social ethics to crack down on pornography? Because playing with female celebrities, playing with young models, and playing with other women is the privilege of the upper class, how can we allow the lower class people to enjoy it?
To put it simply, crime is actually the right of the poor, and stability is just a fig leaf and excuse for the adults and gents to enjoy the pleasure of crime exclusively.
