See also, plausibly:

- military industrial complexes

- questionably Democratic democracies, riddled by deception and lobbying

- a financial system that doesn't seem to be particularly constrained by the political system

- yet another major war underway, and another one on deck

- an epistemic & trust crisis

- major political polarization

- global cost of living crises
