Is it the government that is inherently corrupt or people within? Aren't they themselves largely products of our own societies. They were raised in our neighbourhoods, went to our schools etc. Does this mean that if we were in their positions, we would be corrupt too? This is the issue for those fighting against it as often when given the opportunity, they are no different.
World War 2 is almost like the event in which everything essentially got reset
Yeah, the patterns we choose tend to eat themselves and create large inequalities. Extremes will always lead to conflicts and when large enough, the system will reset to begin again. If only we learned a little more about building community rather than just the capital technology to sell.
It's a bit of both. There's enough corruption within society to harbour corruption at the top, and those that aren't corrupt are apathetic to it all and feel helpless, or are too busy trying to get by in their own life
I sometimes wonder if the economy is engineered in such a way that we all have just enough to survive, but not too much so that we don't have to be preoccupied with our day to day situations to work towards making everything work out, because if enough of us aren't preoccupied, you might get more that find the time for activism..
here is one of them that looks at it a bit.

I think this is close to truth. This is the debt cycle. I have written something about this a long time ago, I will see if I can find it.
Ha I also covered it as well
