Now tell me again I'm crazy when I say EVERYONE is in on it, even the alleged resistance. They are all just pro's farming us NPC's. The way Trump is sucking off Mamdami right now...sorry, but he is fake too, no doubt.
There are no good guys left.
Why does politics in the United States feels like a national scale theater? I am not using the word "theater" to mock america's political system, its "theater" in its literal absolute sense. Feels fake and programmed, does not feel natural, 99% politicians feels like actors/pretenders playing good vs bad role. Even the timing is suspicious.
Your anonymous country works exactly the same way. That's why you didn't mention it.
You are right actually.
Because it is. Politics in all democracies is that way, the US is just letting the mask slip a little.
It's always been ruling class vs. the rest of us. Who the ruling class are changes and the means of oppression changes but the structure of rulers oppressing those beneath them has been constant all the way back to neolithic humans.
Yes there are. They just don't make it through the gauntlet to reach power since they don't desire it to begin with.
"Its one big club and you ain't in it"
I often wonder if this kind of thing is like a rite of passage or something. Like mutually assured destruction for everyone, ensuring that all who make it to the ruling class truly are ride or die. One massive gang.
Gaining power often means loosening of morals and ethics, removing the constraints on behaviors in order to be capable of doing what is effective. All these people are in a club where they're all criminals because that's how power works.
I figured it would be about a month after Mamdani was actually mayor before leftists would turn on him. But maybe I underestimated the need of leftists to be against anyone with power that's sympathetic towards them?
Dude, after the 1000th fucking time being disappointed and betrayed, I am not buying anything. There's no such thing as honest politicians, we should just focus on economically undermining ALL power. Humans should not have any control over each other.
Dude, we gotta live in a society and we have to have a government. It seems it doesn't matter what the government does (Mandani isn't even mayor yet) you just want to be a rebel without a clue. You've probably lived a life of privilege so you don't need to worry about real world problems.
Whatever, you do you. But for us peasants that actually need a government, Mandani isn't in the wrong for not burning everything down.
Citation needed. I completely disagree.
This reminds me of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We don't need to pick someone to "be in charge" to get shit done.
If we don't have a government, Russia or China will give us one.
You think having a government offers any form of protection against aggressive militarism?
If anything, it makes wars and invasions more appealing - if the infrastructure of control and oppression, the police, the military, the courts, etc. are all there, all they need to do is seize those levers of power.
If that infrastructure does not exist and a population is hostile to your attempts to impose it, you would effectively stand no chance against a determined resistance. There are no major military targets, no leaders to assassinate, no positions of power to leverage. They would need to keep boots on the ground to maintain power. And those soldiers, while constantly stationed in hostile territory, can't do anything else and would constantly find themselves under attack by decentralized militia forces - there would be very little hope for holding such territory, and as soon as the occupying force left, anarchy, and therefore peace and order, could once again be restored.
I have seen practicaly every politician turn out to be bought out, child.
My life of privilege: staring at a wall and crying, being told my ideas are stupid and to shut up, standing in the cold while I wait to be institutionalized for bullshit reasons, treated for something I didn't have. Practicaly no healthcare (can't diagnose a chronic cough all my life, gave a generic asthma diagnosis at 29 years of age), I never wanted to ask parents for anything, because I knew they were broke, and got a neurological issue that's ruining your life? Nah, bad character. People here don't have neurological (or mental) issues.
Literally everything I have with me, including this phone, I had to buy from a blue colar job I'm doing.
I'm privileged to do what? Get exploited until the day I die? Watch my family succumb slowly? Pay for private healthcare that does nothing for me? (tried that too).
All humans are predators.
