A simple question which I feel may have many answers, but to a world wide audience I have to ask;
Is politics about people or self empowerment ?
Modern day politics, is equivalent, to telling a girl you like her, and you just don't want to get in her pants, but really you do but if you said that you'd rarely or ever get in any woman's pants, and she knows that to. So, what do you two do, you take part in a mutual lie and play dumb to get what you both want without seeming slutty about it to much. She saves face(citizens keeps belief in moral purity), and he got what you wanted him to give(resources in return for power and control). And so since the lie was so well acted, you can run around acting suprised and hurt when you "find" out he's a bastard. But really you knew that already, that's what you wanted to begin with.
Simple, a citizen, is a self deluded whore that pretends she is virginal for the sake of appearances. A politician, plays off the citizens desire for ego gratification, and maintains their belief in their moral superiority, thus getting elected, and can go about doing all the bad shit, you know he's gotta do to sustain your lifestyle.
Simplest definition: A politician is a person seeking authority and power, who gets that authority and power by telling you the lies you want him to tell you.
