      It actually is. We all have problems. Humanity formed society to solve problems. Society has been hijacked (for a loooong time in many different ways) to extract value from others. Some people want to combat that.

      Some “have their own problems to deal with”

        Society has been hijacked to extract value

          That’s exactly what they said boss. “Hijacking” is simply saying it’s being intentionally diverted to being a wealth funnel.

            If you can’t understand the difference between “extracting” and “exchanging”, that’s the type of thing only a dictionary can help you with, sorry.

              Reading comprehension homie.

              We all have problems. Humanity formed society to solve problems.

              That’s your exchange.

              Society has been hijacked (for a loooong time in many different ways) to extract value from others. Some people want to combat that.

              That’s extraction.

              Read betterer bud.
