Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments
Last post by Lods -
Perhaps an important question is how do people of low intellect, poor morality, zero emotional intelligence and seemingly deeply mired in anger/rage, such as PH (and Trump), get into these positions of influence in the first place?
Not only do they negatively influence other discontented lost souls wherever they go, they grow anger, discontent, fear and ethical degradation. All they achieve is creating, merging and growing a movement of social decay... cheered on by emboldened malcontents.
It's probably a model that's been used since the beginning of time.
When things are bad (high prices, a breakdown in law and order) you find someone to blame...be it a religion, an ethnic group or a political opponent.
You create a 'baddie'.
All your woes are the responsibility of the 'baddies'.
They're not individuals...they're all the same....they all think the same.
There are no good people amongst the 'baddies'...they're not the same as us.
And if they don't want to be the same as 'us' ...they can go.
But in amongst that division you've created, you throw in some 'appealing' populist ideas that make it seem like you have the answers.
Of course, in most cases costings don't really matter.
You will probably never be in a position to have to implement them anyway, so you can promise the world...and you may gain enough support to be in a position to have some influence over policy making.
In the unlikely event that you ever are in a position to govern...you'll eventually get found out, and it will all come crashing down.
It will then be the responsibility of those that follow to put it all back together, but more often than not there will be some damage that is irreparable.
The thing is though...the opportunity for the rise of these people and parties depends on things being pretty crook to start off.
And that falls back on the governments in charge at the time.
