Oh, you think you know the real reasons for the world's problems?
Are they:

Economic inequality and decline in product quality brought about by unfettered capitalism?

Antiscience rethoric and democratic backsliding by unregulated social media and established power structures such as conservative think tanks and billionaires?

Or is it all about blaming immigrants and trans people for things that everyone else is also experiencing?

Add anti-education/intellectualism to that, as I've seen some offshoots of it

Most of the world's problems, other than natural disasters, are caused by people being people.

Central banks and the weaponization of media for propaganda, imo

All of the world's current problems are the lingering effect of communist subversion efforts against the US. Turns out recovering from "demoralization" takes time, if it is even possible at all.

None of the above. Nobody's perfect and that's the cause of all of the world's problems.

The real reason for the world's problems is that there are so many groups that have differing values. If you put emphasis on one group's values, you are more than likely stepping on the values of another

Inequality may be the biggest factor

Replacing one power structure with another never solves anything. Just ask any former Communist state.

Is it better if we were all equally poor? Because that is what will happen if we distribute all of the wealth equally then we would all have 30k. That’s including assets. So good luck on trying to buy a house and a car with just 30k in California.

I think more efficient distribution of resources is an issue that we can improve

Resources in terms of commodities traded between nations via imports/exports, and also distribution of clean water systems, other utilities, etc.

Yes, that will be the ideal outcome because the soviet union had 7 cent puppet shows!

(That's an actual Bernie quote by the by.)
