Big pharma are the good guys. You're just oblivious to how awful the world was before it. People just died from minor illnesses, infected wounds, childbirth, dying in early childhood, minor teeth thing etc. The past was awful, modern medicine is a miracle.

The sicker you remain, the more money they make. They don’t even have to be truly bad people to be influenced by that dynamic, it’s an obvious outcome. That’s all I need to know

Mineral mining in countries that otherwise lack an economy. That's most visual (and consequently obvious) inhumane exploit imo.

Food production - Just selling people more and more hyper-palletable cardboard that trick people's brains into thinking it is good because it hits salty or sweet tastes meanwhile just shoving your body with chemicals, i think this whole vegan meat thing is the pinnacle of it all. The sheer desperation to keep food prices down has had so many down stream consequences

Banks: they make money of your money and treat you like a criminal and drug trafficker and a terrorist. Money.
Social media: they make money of your private information and censor you and shut you down if you don’t act politically correct. Attention.
Governments: they make money of your vote and trust and then tax you and inflate your wealth away with inflation. Power.
Education: they make money by killing your imagination and turn you into an obedient worker that follows the rules. Skills/Imagination.
News corp: they make money by selling fear and ignorance and keeping you a slave of the global fiat system. They don’t teach you to buy assets but only buy liabilities. They don’t teach you what money is. Information/Truth.
All these work together in a kind of cartel to exploit the people. The last word is where they exploit, their main niche of exploitation.

Hah. Show me one element of the mass of society that isn't being controlled and creamed by psychopaths taking advantage of people's weakness and trust, and I will show you a unicorn.
There is fraudsters, abusers, robbers, liars, poisoners and murderers running amok on this planet everywhere, nearly completely unchecked.
When people say, "Bitcoin fixes this" what they mean is that because these exploiters can't control the supply, they can't position themselves to have a privileged position at the spigot of the money supply increase. Without this power, they can't leverage the people who seek a better social position to act as their agents covertly and overtly.
It's at the centre and why you have to preload with "finance" because it is central to the networks of power who keep the psychopaths protected, ensure that people don't learn to defend themselves.
In the end, the best thing you can do, apart from using Bitcoin, is to be extremely fervent in your refusal to do business with the psychopaths that are empowered by the networks of psychos whose exploitation of this central vulnerability.
Every psychopath you deny access to your energy is one who cannot use that energy against you and others.
Just walk away. Whatever it takes.
