Do you know how I would call the nature of the present economic conditions? I would call it cannibalistic. That's what it is! They are nourishing their greed on the quivering flesh and the warm blood of the people - nothing else.
The current economic conditions can be described as predatory and ruthless. Rather than serving the needs of the people, the system appears to feast on their struggles, exploiting the vulnerability and hardship that many face. This situation resembles a form of cannibalism, where the powerful thrive at the expense of the weak, driven solely by greed.
This characterization emphasizes a violent and oppressive dynamic in society, where individuals are used as mere resources, akin to prey. The metaphor suggests that economic practices diminish human dignity, as the rich and powerful consume what little wealth the struggling majority possesses, leading to a lack of empathy and an increase in inequality.
