So what do you call the Elite Class or even Royalty? Or the fact these very same people get to live in gated communities, far away from society they actively prey upon? Even when we play by the same rules, the Elites are not willing to share an ounce of power that was given to them at birth. The perfect example of this was when ordinary folks got into stock trading earlier this year, using the same loopholes as Wall Street to get rich. Yet the reaction to this was predictable.

Yes, what the elites do is unfair but it still is unhealthy to expect fairness to be handed to anyone. If change is to happen, people have to be proactive in fighting and demanding for change. Elites can get away with it because the people are non threatening and unwilling to do what it takes to remove them from power. People need to stop being outraged and actually channel that energy that is constructive to changing things.

Boomers willingly built businesses that hired immigrant labor over native citizens. They lived to depress wages and hoard up real estate while many 18 year olds are completely pushed out from ever owning a home and instead, are forced to live with their parents. Having the internet doesn't matter when opinions like this message board are forced to exist on alternate media. Meanwhile, go back to a library in the 1960s or even the 1980s, and there was no fear of being "cancelled" for reading the wrong stuff.

That is true, but people today are not proactive in holding their politicians accountable either. They don't stand outside of their house and force them to resign or keep protesting when a shitty bill in congress is passed. People just don't have the money or are willing to take the sacrifices necessary to be political.

It's also abnormal to see productivity rising but wages completely stagnated.

I am not a defender capitalism, I think the state should be in control of large industries that mass produce goods, obtain natural resources, etc. Most jobs are fake and don't really need to exist if the state was organized around the common good. I think people should still have the option to open a small business and own a reasonable amount of private property.

As long as Western Taxes exist, any contributions you make are negatively impacted by the government using it to fund their own propaganda. For example, is it not tax dollars that make it possible to send money to Israel? Or fund the military that bombs foreign countries? Or hire teachers who are paid to create new class curriculums based on Social Justice? All of these are indefensible in my eyes.

The only option in changing that is to tolerate it, become political or make money under the table. It is reprehensible but I don't think everyone should move to a foreign country unless they need to seek asylum. If you are going have children, you might want to consider home schooling.
