Comment on Evidence that we have been living in an increasingly risk-averse culture
GigglyBobble@kbin.social 10 months agoPoliticians don't give a fuck about the middle class though. To get rich after holding public office, you need to get in bed with the currently rich
Even if they are not completely corrupt: it's easier to talk to a couple of mega corp CEOs instead of those of thousands of small companies (who employ the most people in total). So policy will always favor large corps. And that's where the obscenely rich are.

Until people won’t vote a socialist party things will go the way you’ve described. People can’t childishly complain about politicians when they have voted them. In America, during the elections, a meager minority go to vote. Until people won’t become politically active, why should things change?

If you think any socialist politician would behave differently, you're just naive. Look at every socialist ever.

Thinking that a politician is like a hero, someone who comes to save the world, that is rather naive. The politician must be checked and kept in line by his her base, his electorate.
