Comment on Hi, Jeffrey!
YgestWefsid@lemmy.today 19 hours agoWhy 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.
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.

Your anonymous country works exactly the same way. That’s why you didn’t mention it.

You are right actually.
