"The failure of our capitalist democracy was collective. It was bred by ignorance, indifference, racism, bigotry, and the seduction of mass propaganda. It was bred by elites- especially in the press, the courts, and academia- who chose careerism over moral and intellectual courage. Our rights as citizens were taken from us one by one. There was hardly a word of protest.
Interesting thoughts and I agree.I remember a friend tried to warn me about the FEMA death-camps. I replied, "Why would the elite go to all that trouble? Don't you see we're already in a death-camp?"
They systematically dismantled many regulations and these so called corporate 'persons' according to the law became narcissistic psychopaths because they allow these companies the same rights as individuals but not the same liabilities. Hence their bad decisions do not come back to dismantle or even haunt them.

It is interesting how they call for unfettered capitalism until they are faced with bankruptcy, suddenly they want bail outs and to socialize their debts.
Totally agree, it is structural and organized. They only require a certain percentage of people to run their societies and those folks get a different experience, different schools, different treatment under the law etc. If you have time check this Akala it hits on the many systemic inequalities in England and there is a mention about US:
