It feels like even Western governments are becoming more and more protective of their aristocrat-class, and openly collude and steal from the people.

Canada (legally) abused its judicial reach on finance institutions during the pandemic.

The US Congress is pretty much openly using insider knowledge to win big on stocks.

The Democrats launched FBI investigations against their political opponents without sufficient legal backing.

The Republicans tried to bully their way into countering the will of the people by blocking the presidential election results.

France passed through unconstitutional reforms without the votes. The UK's Conservative party misled the public about the EU to get the Brexit vote.

All of this without a care in the world about the effects it has on its citizens. All they care about is themselves and their fights. They have completely lost track of serving the people, and are fully comfortable in serving themselves at the expense of the people.

[Disclaimer: Am Canadian, voted Liberal x2, and I disagree with the protests that happened, but I don't approve of that specific measure.]
