Why is everything so fucked?
Years and years of exploiting the people while giving them scapegoats for it?
Oh shit yeah.
But these are the exploiters
Capitalism. Literally, look up what conservative politicians advocated for right after WW2. They literally said how capitalism led to the fall of democracy in europe and into WW2, and implemented strong social security and high taxes on the rich into their pre-war societies.
Like, this is what Eisenhower said back then.
Then, in the 80's and 90's, all of this would get dismantled, and now we have again the same economic inequalities, economic crises, political unrest and fascists we already had in the 20's and 30's.
