Yes, but only until it doesn't.
Your dog eat dog paradigm is not how dogs live IRL.
This system will pass.

I'm not talking about dogs. I'm talking about humans. And even dogs have a hierarchy in their pack.
The "system" is based on a layer of reality beneath even biology. It's a physical fact that applying force can disrupt complex systems. If such a system happens to be an entity you're in competition against over some scarce resource whoever has more force at their disposal wins.
It's typical of our species to form groups and compete against other groups. This is how humans operate. If you are in a group of humans in a lawless situation, your only chance is to develop a capacity for organized violence to defend yourselves. The level organization and the size of groups determine the outcome of a conflict.
The only way for somewhat just societies to develop is through arrival at a balance of power between groups making up that society. However imperfect, modern day Canada is one of the best societies ever to have existed.
The universe is at fault. This is a shit universe. If we are here because someone put us here (I don't believe that), then that someone is a fucking asshole.
Or so you would have us believe.
If you want to use a subset as your example of us all, maybe.
Tell that to their gun nuts.
They don't look so free today.
Let's hope they push back.
Yes, indeed, someone is definitely an asshole.
Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.
Pick your side, carefully, eh?
