Systemic Poverty: The Degenerative Cycle
The degenerative cycle is a system that turns people into consumables.
The 5 tactics that profit from poverty and the cycles that underlies it are:
Alienation - Identify people to target for exploitation.
Rationalization - Manipulating society's constructs to justify attitude and behavior towards those alienated;
Exploitation - The targeted group, through official and unofficial actions, are stripped of value and power.
Automation - Creating policies, protocols and proxies that validate and automate exploitation of targeted groups by removing the need for human or emotional involvement.
Socialization - Rewriting the rules of society - including its institutions, culture and legal structure - to normalize human disregard and social cannibalism.
Alienation = Under-Compensation
To pay salaries below what it takes for a full-time worker to survive. Includes supporting wage and equity theft, and/or inequitable benefits across workers.
Also, the unintentional disqualification of diverse/out-of-the-box candidates through old-school “fit-the-box” hiring portals.
Rationalization = Economic Impairment
Using fair-appearing, pseudo-objective instruments to discourage and disqualify less affluent candidates from services that they could use to make their lives more sustainable.
Exploitation = Opportunistic Overcharging
Unjustified higher prices, higher interest, and added fees, for people who can least afford it.
Automation = Rent-Seeking
This is the process of extracting revenue from society by trapping people in (and profiting from) debt, and/or removing or controlling ownership opportunities.
Socialization = Social Disinvestment
Involves moving the cost burden of our collective wellbeing (education, retirement, etc.) by shifting it to individuals, most of whom cannot afford it.
