Here's a powerful group that doesn't need to be rich to destroy your life for speaking ill of them.
Muslims.
They have gangs of thugs that can outright meet you in a dark alley and hurt you. They have academies to censor people for "Islamophobia" (which is not a thing; the word phobia refers to irrational fear, such as fear of the number 13 or enclosed spaces), or to call legitimate action in war as "genocide" (which is also not a thing, because genocide refers to racial cleansing, and Jews are more of a race than either the Shinto or the Hindus, even though Shintos are predominantly Japanese and Hindus are predominantly Indian, there is no such thing as a secular Hindu or Shinto, but there are secular Jews because it is an ethnic group in addition to being a religion). Within throwing any oil money, the Muslims can just pressure people to follow along because they have power.
Or so they think. But I don't fear them. To a person who is okay with dying, no amount of fear works.
The only power Jews have is when they have money. About the same amount of power as Asians. Asians are short and kinda scrawny looking, unless they learned martial arts. So they rely on studying hard and getting wealthy.
Even if people like Trump tried to use their power to blacklist him, listen, out of college someone must have had it in for me because I had shit jobs for years. It's all attitude. Burger World in The Middle Of Nowhere is always hiring. So are places that hire inmates or bastards. Further, you can always hire yourself. It's called being self-employed.
Neither money nor fear are power.

The Lord defends even wicked people from their accusers, for his will is mercy and justice.
