Humans, is the answer. We are a very conniving, deceptive, self-delusional, self-destructive beast. I theorize that it is due to the nature of European mores dominating and setting the tone first, globally; but, essentially, it comes down to the psychopaths controlling the rational, reasonable, good, people because the system supports encourages, and even rewards devious behavior while sabotaging, discouraging, and even penalizing good traits and behaviors. As long as exploitation is so heavily rewarded and the real consequences are so remote and minuscule; it will not change. The way the reward, incentive, and penalty structure is set up currently; you have to be an unprincipled personality to operate in that space.
