Every time I hear that, I wonder did capitalism dictate that or did runaway unregulated capitalism where corporations have undue political experience dictate that?

The essence of capitalism is the drive for profit and growth; all else is subsumed to it. What you are describing is naturally what capitalism must come to-- a capture of any regulatory apparatus that would inhibit profit and growth, once sufficient power to do so is achieved.

I just want a world where human rights come before profit, not the other way around.

Yes and that’s what has happened, my view is that we need a reset and better regulations, which include separating money and power as much as possible so the system doesn’t end up back in this spot in 50 years.
