Democracy.
This world is what people voted for? Yeah?
Fake elections, fake democracy. The president of USA is a puppet controlled by secret societies, and thats why nothing ever changes.
People cant even choose candidates. Everyone has to be rich to be president. Because money is what controls people. If you dont have that greed, you cant be controlled by the system. Thats why everyone powerful is rich.

Paying rent for land. Unfortunately it's been that way since feudalism and the progressive movements over the last few hundred years haven't managed to break out of it

Oh you know... vaguely gestures at everything
College / university in many countries.
In the US at least, its become such a parasitic industry, with tuition fees rising exponentially and far exceeding wage rates and job availability, that it accounts for a large portion of most people's personal debt.
With so many applicants for so few jobs, a college degree is the new highschool diploma / "minimum requirement" for nearly every job now. 1 / 4 US adults have student loan debt, with an average of 40k in student loans.. Nothing is putting the brakes on degree inflation, tuition, or the student loan industry.
The US federal government also makes a killing off of student loan interest fees, most of which is going to the MIC and Israel.
They've made the product they're selling you (a degree), both required, and extremely expensive; the ultimate goal of any parasitic industry. Its a dream for state and private colleges, the US government and its military, and a nightmare for people either without a job, or chained to their desks for fear of losing their job and getting further behind on loan payments.

Ban the entire business model.
The whole Trump administration and all of the lies, including all of the so called, assasination attempts. Don't believe a thing coming out from that circus.
