Venting if you look at the world and the way governments treat the people

[Darkover]

The way the world operates is deeply messed up. Governments and those in power claim to care about people, but when you look at how things really are, it's clear that their actions don't match their words. Every single day, around 25,000 people die from starvation — not because there isn't enough food, but because of inequality, corruption, and greed. There's enough to go around, but the system isn't built to help everyone — it's built to benefit a few.

These same systems send people off to war, where they kill and get killed for causes they often don't understand or agree with. Civilians — including innocent children — are bombed in the name of politics, profit, and power plays. The people making those decisions never face the consequences. They sit safely behind desks while others bleed.

If the economy crashes and you hit hard times, you could lose everything — your job, your home, your stability. No one steps in to catch you. You're left to figure it out on your own, and if you fail, you're blamed for not trying hard enough.

Meanwhile, a billion people go to bed hungry every single night, while billionaires hoard more money than they could ever spend. That's not just unfair — it's inhumane. If the elites who run the world actually cared, this wouldn't be happening.

And yet, if someone wants to escape all this — if they say life is too much and they want out — they're told they're sick, selfish, or broken. There's all this pressure to keep going, to keep suffering, to stay alive for the sake of others or some abstract sense of hope. But where's the same energy when people are starving, dying in war zones, or freezing on the streets?

The system is set up in a way that profits from suffering, keeps people in survival mode, and punishes them when they try to break free—whether it's through defiance, desperation, or seeking a way out altogether. It's a cruel contradiction: those in power perpetuate mass suffering, and then pretend to be the protectors of life when someone says they don't want to live in that suffering anymore.

If they truly cared, we wouldn't see millions starving while billionaires race to space. We wouldn't see people criminalized for simply being poor, mentally ill, or using substances to cope with unbearable conditions. And yet, the moment someone says "I've had enough," suddenly everyone becomes deeply concerned about the "sanctity of life." Where is that concern when people are being bombed? Or evicted? Or left to die on the street?

This world can feel like a prison where the guards are pretending to be our saviors. And it's especially maddening when people are told they must keep living—no matter the pain—because it's "wrong" to want out, even when nothing is being done to relieve that pain.

hypocrisy

I feel like while some of this is true. Saying Musk needs to go fix the government in X country for example and all these other places is problematic. Because the corruption in most of these countries is the reason for the starvation. It doesn't matter how much money gets poured into these places if it never reaches those that it is intended for. For instance aid to north Koreans didn't never really left the elites. Which means it's a much more problematic and complicated endeavor because it involves changing the governments wholesale and that's extremely difficult. Because say KJU doesn't give a shit if his people starve, and he's willing to kill his people to stay in power. He keeps his people in line with propaganda and by being a closed society they think it is normal. Explain to me how this problem is fixed?
