If your take away from "the world seems to be becoming less and less livable for most" is "I need to get on the side of the abusers as fast as I can", you might want to take a hard look at the person you have become.
There is no wrong side of the line. A manichean dichotomy between winners and losers is an unproductive way to look at the world. You can both be successful while trying to carry everybody up. Life is not a zero sum game.
The end game of rising inequality is not a few living good lives while most suffer. It is chaos and instability.
