My vote is more personally biased, but I think the American economic system. Anything goes capitalism is why we root for the underdog, but celebrate people that step on them to get to the top. Too many of us are poor, too many of us barely get by, and still a low percentage of us not only get increasingly wealthier, we do so without concern for each other. Perhaps universal health care flies in the face of capitalism, but thanks to capitalism medicine that costs only about a nickel in communist countries can bankrupt the working class.
But hell, what are a few hundred lost jobs as long as CEOs can still write themselves nice fat bonus checks for a job well done?
Apparently, it's just un-American to look out for each other unless there's money to be had doing it.
I vote this over WW2 because in the long term more people have died and will die from poverty related disease, illness, hunger, etc across the world, because American capitalism is not only about every man for himself, it's also apparently contagious.
I want off this world.

Religion. All of them. No single incident of death will ever do more damage than religion has. Their casualty numbers still going strong.
I'd like to, as a former atheist, offer a thought; perhaps it is not the religion that is flawed, but those who practice it? At least, I found myself opening up to the concept once I realized it wasn't god or the church I despised, it was the people that used it to justify things like intolerance and oppression. I'm a christian, I do not hate gay people at all (some of my friends are gay), and I am not opposed to their getting married. We're not all bible thumping retards out to wag our smug fingers at people that do wrong, in fact christians aren't even really supposed to be doing that.
Simply, my point is that maybe it's not the club, but the members, you should resent.
