It is a known phenomenon that many firefighters are also passionate arsonists because society simply rewards them for [fighting](fight_culture.md) fires (as opposed to rewarding them for the lack of fires).
In [capitalism](capitalism.md) and other systems requiring people to have jobs this paradox prevents progress, i.e. actual elimination of undesirable phenomena, hence capitalism and similar systems are anti-progress. And not only that, the system pressures people to artificially creating new undesirable phenomena (e.g. lack of [women](woman.md) in tech and similar [bullshit](bs.md)) just to create new jobs that "fight" this phenomena. In a truly good society where people are not required to have jobs and in which people aim to eliminate [work](work.md) this paradox disappears.
By extension this also leads to the creation of [bullshit jobs](bullshit_job.md), i.e. not only are there people with an interest on preserving negative phenomena but there are also people with an interest in creating new negative phenomena, "[fighting](fight_culture.md)" of which can then serve as a basis for creating a new job for themselves. For example if [LGBT](lgbt.md) inventions an issue of "not enough gay people in IT", they can then start creating "diversity departments" to guarantee themselves a comfy job.
