Capitalism. Most of the other (daily, specific) dangers out there are dangerous because someone's making money off putting other people in danger. I'm including the military industrial complex, but also regular industries and the exploitation of vulnerable populations.

Idk if we use capitalism so much as we get used...

What would you call the military industrial complex of CCCP?

Edit: I love that one reply is claiming it's self defense, the other is claiming they're capitalist
