The System Is Working- Just Not for You

It’s okay to feel like things aren’t going great. It’s okay to feel that this moment in time isn’t normal- that the whole system feels broken. But the truth is more unsettling: the system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as it was designed to. The corruption. The coverups. The inequality. The brazen unfairness of a system that shields and coddles elites- none of this is accidental. It was baked in from the very beginning, engineered to protect the rich, landowning gentry and to serve the upper crust of society: those with wealth, those with means, those with power and influence- the donor class who quietly pull the strings and levers behind the scenes.

This is not a failure of the system. This is the system revealing its true purpose. It was never built to protect the vulnerable, to uplift the struggling, or to serve the many. It was built to concentrate power, to insulate privilege, and to ensure that those already at the top remain untouchable. The rules are written by those who benefit from them. The laws are shaped by those who can afford to bend them. Justice is rationed. Accountability is selective. And every crisis becomes an opportunity for the powerful to tighten their grip while the rest are told to be patient, to work harder, to accept less.

So, we are now left with the only question that matters:

Who does the system serve?

Because it’s not the common citizen like you and me.
