The reason that is so is because evil runs the world, even now.
If good men stood up and executed the evil, we'd be demonized, locked up, and deemed as terrorists and/or anarchist because the majority of people love being sheep and as soon as something seems like it's threatening their cushy life, they demand their head and ask big government daddy to step in and take care of it.
They don't give a fuck that they are literally modern day slaves.
People who even make 100k a year are the real problem - given just enough to not revolt, not enough to actually do anything, and keeping the lower class talked down to by classism.
