The system is progressing as expected. The US is further ahead on the timeline. If they collapse first, that may trigger a systemic reset here, before we've reached their stage of dystopia. Get your demands ready and demand more than people did during the 1930s. Much more.

It is long overdue time to eat them.
Complacent middle class, or rapidly shrinking and struggling to not fall further middle class?
Yeah, the issue here isn't the middle class, it's as usual, the owner class that's the problem
The middle class is their tool. They are incented to perpetuate this bullshit.
The middle class is like the personal carbon footprint - it's a fabrication created by the ultra-wealthy to divert responsibility from themselves. There is only the owner class and the working class.
I respectfully disagree. The middle class is not perfect, but the issue here is the ruling class
How are you (OP) blaming the "middle" class? What could you suggest nurses, teachers, fire fighters, etc do to solve the problem of wealth inequality?
I genuinely want to know because it seems to me that we control nothing and have no excess to give.
Stop performing those services. En mass.
...so let people die, stop caring for our neighbours, allow ignorance and illiteracy to fester. Seems extreme and misplaced.
A better, less-nihilistic approach might be: stop buying things, cancel subscriptions, sell dividend-paying stocks, etc. Or even better: a general strike.
A general strike is stopping doing those services en masse.
Who suffers the most? The vulnerable
Do you mean "incentivized?" But yeah.
Incent is correct in fact 🤓
incent verb in·cent in-ˈsent incented; incenting; incents transitive verb
: incentivize … a large prize … may also incent some employee referrals. —Bill Conerly
Its definition is literally a reference to "incentivize," so all that proves is that language has rotted slightly
Back in the 1840s apparently.
Not if you actually read the chart
"The earliest known use of the verb incent is in the 1840s."

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
I recall reading the exact same thing for Mexico. Let me guess, this is pretty much the same for the entire planet.
Finally, the top 1 per cent hold almost a quarter of all wealth in Canada. A person in the top 1 per cent owns 210 times more wealth than an average person in the bottom 50 per cent.
By contrast, the bottom 40 per cent collectively hold slightly more than 3 per cent of total wealth in Canada, each with an average net worth of just under $87,000.
If you ever look at wealth and income data by quantiles, there is no middle class, it’s just exponentially increasing amount of wealth as you shift to higher quantities.
