The Rise of the Cannibalistic Elite
According to the 2026 Word Inequality Database report, approximately 60,000 multibillionaires hoard three times more resources than the poorest half of the global population. This scenario paints a picture of a ruthless elite, obsessed with multiplying their obscene wealth at the expense of the planet itself. For this minuscule minority, the lives of others hold no value, nor does the planet they exploit.
The Elite’s Disregard for Environment and Human Life
This elite drives the uncontrolled development of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, which consume massive amounts of water and electricity. They also promote the sale of arms, even to regimes that violate human rights. Their insatiable greed and thirst for power are the only driving forces behind their actions.
The Global Spread of Cruelty
In today’s world, a state of exception prevails. Entire populations are labeled as “enemies” of nations, purity, religion, or groups, subjected to various forms of abuse, expulsions, and massacres with complete impunity. This trend is exemplified by:
- The U.S. president labeling entire populations and countries as “garbage” while promoting systematic persecution and deportation of migrants through a lucrative network of prisons.
- The Russian government’s relentless destruction of Ukraine, fueling its killing machine with untrained Russian recruits and foreign mercenaries.
- Armed groups in Sudan massacring, raping, and displacing entire populations.
- Mexico’s crime organizations, with the complicity of negligent or corrupt authorities, kidnapping and disappearing thousands, sowing terror through massacres and bombings.
- The globalization of sex trafficking perpetuating modern-day slavery.
- Cleptocrats in Washington exploiting the destruction of Gaza for real estate and tourism opportunities.
The Unnoticed Descent into Dystopia
Many remain oblivious to this descent into dystopia due to the fragmentation of information and biases in various media, indifferent or tolerant towards brutality. Prestigious international media and unscrupulous governments downplay certain killings and massacres, exaggerate others, and attribute violence to individual or sociocultural “monstrous” traits. Powerful groups and governments fund media and influencers who amplify these biases, contributing to censorship and manipulation that distort our perception of reality.
The Acceleration of Dystopia through Hate Promotion
The spread and promotion of hate further accelerate the descent into dystopia. In the name of religions that preach “love thy neighbor,” people condemn those with different beliefs. False notions of purity or homogeneous origins fuel enchanting yet fanatical discourses that incite violence against “others” based on color, origin, or ideas.
Precarious Education Amidst Creativity and Resistance
Ironically, as critical thinking and creativity should be encouraged, education is deteriorating. Underfunded schools produce adolescents who cannot learn, blindly trusting AI and susceptible to following misogynistic or violent “gurus.” Their compliant bodies and minds become potential victims of commodification or disposal policies.
Resistance Rooted in Creativity, Empathy, and Indignation
Despite these challenges, resistance rooted in creativity, empathy, and indignation against injustice persists. Although resisting totalitarian surveillance has become more difficult than ever, it remains indispensable.
