RE: --- Politics... Its all Fake ----
So true @mfxae86! It's all a play to perpetuate the current status quo. Only thing I would add is that in the meantime most of us believe that politics itself is the problem, it seems you believe so to:
Its is a broken system that is VERY out dated
Well, is it broken? That depends on your position in the current status quo, doesn't it? As a matter of fact, in a democracy the government is supposed to work for the people, but in reality politicians are payed for by the small percentage of the population for who the current status quo works out well. Meanwhile we have a population that believes wholeheartedly in the ideology that sustains and supports the lofty position of that small percentage; capitalism.
Don't blame politics; governments are necessary for the 90% if we have a real democracy where that government is ruled by the people instead of what we have now, a plutocracy where the government is ruled by capital and capitalists.
Thanks for your comment @zyx066, I would say by definition it is broken, it is not operating as intended or stated. Maybe it never was intended to operate as such, but it is the way it was "represented" to work. While broken may have a number of definitions depending on application "not functioning properly; out of working order" most certainly is one of them. I think it would be difficult to argue that the system is not out dated, thought its not really relevant. However, i do fail to see where i said that politics is "the problem".
What i did say in the article is, we need to separate ourselves from ANY position within politics itself. the point is to NOT take a "side" regardless of status quo, candidates, promises, blah blah blah.... its all a load of crap, both sides are just as corrupt and utilize the same tactics to fool people and get their votes then do as they please.
This article is asserting my belief that "politics is fake" , i compared it to the WWF. I stated Its full of deception, lies, corruption etc. That we are being fooled, divided, pitted against each other AND our interaction with this system perpetuates this kind of behavior.
Im really not interested in getting into a discussion about democracy, capitalism, communism , socialism or anything else like that as its all semantics AND part of what i was saying in the article.... Some of us are so ready to defend "our belief systems", "our gov is better than x gov", it dont matter which one you are ruled by they are all doing the same thing.... raping their people while claiming to save them from it.
Actually, I'm with you 100%; maybe I misunderstood. Maybe it was like 6 am after staying up all night to write a similar post... But I agree; politics in it's current form is fake. Democracy does not exist, not even here in Europe.
im not saying we are against each other, im just highlighting and reiterating my points so we dont shift the focus onto areas im not talking about , nor interested in delving into.
However, to be clear if we were to move the topic in that direction i would say the problem is people themselves, the hooman condition as i like to say. Analogy: if someone strikes you with a sword and draws blood, do you blame the sword for being sharp or the person for wielding the sword?
