Everywhere I look, multinational corporations have slowly turned into the masters and owners of everything. Media conglomerates are multinational corporations themselves, spewing propaganda to promote so-called "free" market and more profits for their corporate brethen.
Factories and industries in the democratic first and second world closing one-by-one, to move their production to third world dictatorships and weak democracies with almost no labour rights, where they can pay whetever they hell they want to the workers there, who have to work in subhuman conditions.
In our countries, our societies decompose, with a widening wealth gap between rich and poor that generates resentment and crime, lowering health and education standards, and a gradual corporate takeover of all public spaces. The middle classes are crushed, driven into poverty, while a few chosen ones are allowed to raise to the top just to prove to the rest that "the system works".
