Cause and effect of an intentionally broken society [EN/PT]

I came to the conclusion that normal people shouldn't dabble in complex matters. There should be a leader who represents them. Politics is too big a subject for most minds. Same religion.

They don't understand how it works, but they want something that comes from that and they fight for that. But, because they don't understand how it works, they end up being manipulated.

For example, you get what you wanted from the person in power, but the person you elected or followed intentionally makes horrible decisions in everything else and ends up doing far more harm than good.

They don't realize it because they don't understand how complex this is. The horrible damage takes time to come, and they don't even realize it has to do with the support they gave in the past to someone who actually used them in exchange for a simple request.
