Why would anyone post this? Of course it didn't just turn up out of nowhere.
What it is, and what I expect people with a modicum of knowledge of the English language to understand it as, is vaguely gesturing at the overall situation and saying “this thing here that be the way it do”.
That quoted phrase you have there is pure hot nonsense.

Good. Then you agree that it's valuable to look at the reasons for inequality, I presume, and not stop at "inequality is the centre of it all". Both material and immaterial ones. Or to put in classic Marxist terms (a bit reductive but it's close enough): What's the economic and cultural obstacles to class consciousness.

It's using habitual/continuative aspect. "This thing here that is habitually that way because it habitually is that way".
I know you think you're the smartest person on Earth giving unthinking Americans lessons or something but you haven't taught me a damned thing here at all except what the German word for neoliberal is.
(But, I know, don't dare call them that!!! 😡🤬 😤)
😆
Separately, even frequent users of the habitual be wouldn't write a sentence like that.
