Money = Predators

But does it have too?

Every time you turn on the tv there are true crime stories, documentaries and scripted series that predators are after our money. Not only did I watch The Tinder Swindler, Inventing Anna but I also decided to take a look at my own behavior pattern to ensure that I was not going down the path of corrupting myself for covid money during a time when my savings had become nearly obsolete.

Luckily, the answer was no but even now I am watching a Telenovela La Promesa that has the following synopsis: women being tricked into some kind of forced slavery not just for sexual needs but to enforce this kind of menacing power over them and that will surely keep them captive many years after they are finally rescued.

So, that made me decide to google search youngsters being sold a lie which promises fame, money, glamour but really just traps them into these basements in which they are held hostage, this could happen to anyone and with this self-glamorization of empowerment while using OnlyFans.com and TikTok while you may think that you are safe in your comment section you will find that you are not.

This applies to men as well with Grindr leading the charge of entrapment, drug rapes and other ways of guilting you out of your power and right to choose; the choices are now being forced upon us and if you have enough might to get out well everything has already been recorded. And these social media and dating app conglomerates are doing little to nothing to ensure that this will never happen to anyone all they do is shrug it off knowing that you will keep coming back.

Do we have the right to complain when we are bombarded with this information? Do we have the right to go on message boards making comments about the Netflix series in which a woman is kidnapped for 365 days and ends up falling in love with her captor all because he is attractive?

Of course, he had to be hot we wouldn't watch if he wasn't. Even with HBO's Euphoria a series that in my honest opinion makes drugs look like the best thing since Vogue magazine and The Devil Wears Prada as if this is the life that is waiting for us if we find the right people but really this only ends with money corrupting humans.

We don't have enough money. We will never have enough money. So how is it that everyone isn't satisfied with just having a nice amount to live a comfortable life? Social media is showing these high-flying lifestyles that those who are enjoying them are doing so at the breaking down of others and their own humanity. Most hip-hop stars started out selling toxins to our aunts, uncles and cousins before they hit it big and when they did something tells me the hood had their hand out offering protection for clout and air space.

I won't name names, but you can find women who made it big by drugging and robbing men for their own benefit claiming that they had a right to it since they were being exploited anyway. Now it just seems that we have the right to exploit each other and deep down the women of the tinder swindles hit list knew very well they had allowed themselves to be sucked in and he laughed all the while as they went into debt. Anna to me exploited because she had already been exploited despite how her parents claimed that she was already a lost cause. Was she really?

We need to set up protections, ground rules and legal parameters because if not this is all going to get a #### of a lot worse for all of us.
