There was an article published not long ago at Reason dot com, about the protests now breaking out in Columbia, and the author nailed it, when he labeled it the "rent-seeker's rebellion." They're grifters, looking to profit and exploit without contributing anything to society in return. Race, climate change, equity, etc, are all tools that they're using to do it. In reality, they're all looking for a handout for nothing, and will exploit anything to achieve their goals.
Worse, these methods were developed by some within the psychiatric profession, especially by the likes of George Brock Chisholm MD, who was the first director of the WHO. He stated that his profession wished to destroy the idea of right and wrong, and break the "moral chains," which he claimed started all wars. In fact, national economic policies, competition for resources, exploitation, and expansionism are what start wars. Morals stand in the way of the exploitation, etc.

Government, from time immemorial, was built up around the wealthy aristocrats, trade, economy, and money. Those that think that it has to do with human rights are mistaken.
If Jefferson and Madison hadn't stepped in, there would be no legal human or natural rights within the US, as the new government, under the Federalists, was to be the "New Rome," and it was all about trade and protecting the economy.
I'll give WJC credit, when he stated one fact: "It's about the economy, stupid!"

Some want to bring down the corporation, by taxing, micromanaging, and regulating it to death in a centralized, or partially-centralized system, (for the greater good, of course), while others want completely unbridled, and unregulated "cowboy" capitalism spread as "free trade" around the globe. Neither works, and there has to be a balance. As George Washington once stated, and I'm paraphrasing, the government needs to stay out of the economy as much as possible, and only use a slight hand to coax it along, while still protecting the nation and public.

Worse, is when you notice that today's CEOs and politicos do not even believe in the rhetoric they spiel, but are what some call rent-seekers and grifters. They're in it for a few things, to obtain wealth, and to climb the sociopolitical ladder as quickly as possible to advance their agendas.
In Columbia, the teachers union was caught red handed about the real reason that they wouldn't go back to teaching. From an article at Reason, titled: Colombia's Anti-Imperialists Import Cancel Culture:
"The openly socialist teachers union, La Federación Colombiana de Trabajadores de la Educación (FECODE), has been particularly deceitful. While its leaders refused to return to schools and deliver in-person instruction, claiming that their members are vulnerable to C####-## infections, they also protested in large crowds and herded closely together during street concerts. Depending on their convenience, they have switched from being C#### bedwetters to nonchalant superspreaders at an astounding velocity. FECODE only announced a return to school after a video surfaced in which one of its leaders, who is planning to run for Congress, openly admitted that the strike was about winning power in the 2022 elections."
The article goes on to call the activists "rent-seekers."
