The World Is Boiling, and the Rich Call It Progress

Corruption used to hide in shadows. Now it walks through front doors wearing tailored suits and calling itself success. A handful of people control land, food, energy, housing, and wealth, while billions are told to work harder and be grateful for the opportunity to struggle.

The system is elegant in its cruelty: the many produce, the few accumulate, and anyone who complains is called jealous or lazy. Then, after exploiting workers and avoiding taxes, the same elites donate crumbs to charity and expect applause for their generosity.

Justice is even more entertaining. A poor man stealing bread faces punishment immediately. A corporation stealing millions gets a fine, a rebrand, and a panel discussion about ethics.

Meanwhile, governments somehow always find money for war, luxury projects, and rescuing failing giants—but become helpless philosophers when citizens ask for healthcare, housing, or fair wages.

So the world keeps heating. Prices rise, trust dies, anger spreads. And from their towers, the wealthy look down and call it economic growth.

History is patient. It always waits until greed mistakes itself for permanence.
