I know this kid who wants to be politician.. He's going to be good at it because he can talk like the best of them and he plays the games. But I know him, he really wants to make a positive difference.
Since this morning one of our political parties has been officially qualified as a national socialist party... It's extremely popular even though the politicians involved are clearly a bunch of nitwits with just one point on the agenda... Throw all the jews muslims out... Behind the walls of their office they were exposed to be authoritarian run, one guy is in absolute control. They were exposed to call their own voters idiots and cattle. But no one seems to care. Maybe people really are idiots and cattle?
At any rate, I'm trying to say that there are politicians and politicians.
I believe many begin by trying to make a difference for the better, but the top is just too corrupt and powerful to allow it. All are eventually corrupted or subjugated or a combination of both.
Prejudice... is saying "Monkeys like to eat bananas" prejudice when they all do it? Perhaps my way of looking at it is a labelling of sorts, but if you can show me one good politician that will unequivocally tell the truth, I will change my stance. I may have my head in the clouds, but my feet are firmly on the ground. Ignoring how things are does not just make them go away.
