Inequality is increasing around the world, both income inequality and wealth inequality. And you can’t expect that everything is going to be just stable. It’s not stable.
And you also find that as climate change takes away more and more people’s livelihoods, because more and more of the surface land of the earth is no longer arable, no longer capable of generating enough food and water, that people are going to try to migrate. And those migrations are increasing. And those migrations are putting more and more pressure on so-called advanced countries, and fueling the rage of a lot of people who are very insecure in those advanced countries and generating more support for fascism, for authoritarianism, and for extreme right-wing parties. So it’s a system. You have to connect the dots and see how these dots really are, unfortunately, reinforcing each other.
