Blame the people who vote those people into government.
Its not the rich, not even the government as much as those pushing a populist into power

I think the rule of government is biased and thereby favoring the rich and leaders with self interest instead of focusing on why the country should be a democratic country and this is why I see the developed countries like the US cease to help such countries cause the leaders have refused to follow the rules of government and they claim they are in charge and can deal with what they are facing whereas they are making a living hell out of the citizens.

The government, which is supposed to look out for us, are the ones tearing us apart. The currency does not have much value, inflation is on the high side, and the prices of things are triple the price it was at the beginning.

It is difficult to say modern slavery at this time, because people pursue higher education for future provisions, and in the end they want to get a high position in any sector, and they pursue their desires tirelessly indirectly modern slavery is in themselves difficult to separate because everything already exists in its era.

Only those who are complicit and help in the enslavement of governments are better off while the rest are getting poorer. However, the common people do not know that there is any chance of getting rid of this condition, which is why they have no choice but to choose this life of slavery.

I agree that individuals have rights and freedoms today, I mean I think many people who can write here have almost the same rights.
Although inflation is high today, that is a separate issue, economic activities, poverty have not always been like this.
 Maybe the job you chose is wrong, you become poor because you learned the profession and insisted on it, this may be one of the factors. People get what they want in some way, slavery is a complete restriction.

And you would be right to decline that idea. There is absolutely no "slavery" in what we do, it's obviously not a great life to live when there are so many things that we can't afford, but being upset that you can't get what you want, doesn't mean we are slaves. And just because business owners could make so much more than the worker, doesn't mean they are masters.

We can easily quit any job we have, that is the proof that we are not slaves, there is absolutely no other reason required, if you can go to work today, and give your two week notice, that means you are not a slave. Slavery has to be being hold against your wishes and that does exist in some sweatshop parts of the world, just not around where we live. I believe in the power of individual, and the right to be as strong as possible, so many people grew up from nothing and even became presidents, and that means we need to realize things aren't going to be that bad for the individual at all.

Indeed there's a bigger picture which is overall economic situation and leaders behind administrations. Some people are still not aware of how big the impact of their voted politicians in the long run and as they serve their positions. People should be taking elections more seriously to ease their lives as citizens of respective countries.

Political instability is the major cause of current economic hardship. The government is stabbing us while hugging us. Do you think political instability is the major course or something else?

Technically it's true, but I can understand why people say it's slavery.

Yeah you can easily quit the job we have, but we as human being need money to pay food, rent, utility bills etc. If you're born from poor parents, you're forced to work to fulfill your needs especially you're not have a degree, in the end you will work in blue collar jobs and it's similar from one to another jobs.

Even though it's called democracy it's not for every people, it's just for the people who bring more revenue and favour the ruling parties and always burden the middle class with all kind of taxes. Choosing the right leader should be the solution but what if the two candidates are not considered as a fit and we boycott the voting still either one of them will be chosen that's the downside of democracy. There's actually no real life change in those financial and political leaders so always people has to face the worst things but even the leaders of poor countries are living their life as comfortable as they can.

Democracy, which is supposed to be government of the people, for the people, and by the people, is now the new way for modern slavery. The government of my country, under the pretense of democracy, are taking citizens through hell. The situation we are in is a situation of smiling in pain.

The government, which is supposed to look out for us, are the ones tearing us apart. The currency does not have much value, inflation is on the high side, and the prices of things are triple the price it was at the beginning of the year.

The citizens speaking seems they are shouting into a void. It seems democracy has been used as a cover for either military rule or other forms of oppression that do not listen to the people.  Those in power want to keep fooling the people and continue ruling under the tag of democracy.

It's not easy to think positively with the current economy talk less about starting out on your own because there are certain opposing government policies and oppositions too.  What people do is adjust to the hardships.

People start looking for side incomes, working three jobs at once, trying to make ends meet, always on the go to work, neglecting their health and neglecting their emotions. A lot of people are even emotionally unstable, but they can't talk about it because that's not what's on the ground. You have a family to feed, you have responsibilities to take care of.

Political instability is the major cause of current economic hardship. The government is stabbing us while hugging us. Do you think political instability is the major course or something else?

I refuse to follow this logic, because if I did, I would have to accept the fact I don't have any autenticity or free will at all, since it's all about a gray undefined body called system which decides everything for me.

This system is composed by people like us, who somehow managed to accumulate power, using their skills and cognitive abilities to manipulate and take advantage from average citizens of society.

They are constantly trying to make us to believe we have no choices, besides playing their game. The fact you are persuaded to always choose the lesser evil is an evidence of that. However, you don't have to. You always have the possibility and potential to find gaps on this system imposed to you in order to thrive and develop yourself, despite obstacles and sabotages.

The difficult level involved in not playing the system's game may be high, but it's not impossible, and I guess the purpose of life is to not give up to them. Key point I've found is to be less dependant as possible on mainstream groups, while becoming more autonomous and self-reliable on yourself.

Democracy, which is supposed to be government of the people, for the people, and by the people, is now the new way for modern slavery. The government of my country, under the pretense of democracy, are taking citizens through hell. The situation we are in is a situation of smiling in pain.

That's right. The democratic system is only a name, but in practice many people get votes in an improper or fraudulent way and even with democracy like this sometimes leaders are born who have no capacity at all, they become leaders because they have a lot of money. The democratic system is actually good but when practiced many are wrong, so it is not surprising that in many democratic countries there is economic instability while countries that do not adhere to democracy actually have better economies. So it can be said that people do not actually need democracy but only need a place to live, work, education and have fun. Democracy only enriches the interests of political groups.

We as the people can only surrender to the situation. In the end we must be independent, no need to hope for the government. In the end we must also realize that being rich does not require success, what distinguishes slaves and workers is in values ​​and mindset. Because we must not close our eyes to the fact that both need each other. The point is to become quality human resources, then the opportunity for success will be greater, so that it does not become modern slavery.
