I've heard a joke somewhere, I'm paraphrasing: If European taxpayers could directly offer all the lobbyists residing in Brussels double the money for not doing what they are being paid for, now, it would be one of the most profitable things and by far and large the greatest deed for all its citizens.
As it stands now the cost of rigging especially in the EU is extraordinarily cheap and effective.
I've been saying the same thing about the US for years. The true hell of it isn't that we have naked corruption in the form of unlimited PAC-driven campaign contributions, it's that you can buy races for relatively so little.
I wish I could take the general public more sincerely and seriously, but their continued existence within learned helplessness, braying like goats stuck in mud rather than… you know… getting off their asses trying something else… really just makes the public look like disingenuous phony’s and gold diggers.
Reminder: none of us have an obligation to you specifically. Be the change you want to see in the world… or stfu
If your only idea is parrot populist news propaganda just stfu
