I just don’t understand, are these politicians really that stupid? You do shit like this when the general public is more cognizant of distrust in government institutions, you start building factories for more Luigis. If your average normies are experiencing a noticeable and tangible decrease in standard of living, are personally and physically seeing more live protests, are constantly seeing a stream of authoritarian moves from the government, and you pile on this blatant miscarriage of justice seen from both major parties, where do you think people are gonna turn to for justice? And when you’re this public and blatant about it, who’s head is on the spike first, historically speaking? I really don’t think everyone is prepared for the consequences of continuing down this road, because participation in the consequences will likely be much more mandatory than they have been historically.
They believe they can get away with it because nothing that bad has happened yet. Like most people, they don’t think it long term consequences and these things build up over time, build momentum until they can’t stop it. But then it’s too late.
It doesn’t help that like most people they’re comparing themselves with their neighbors and peer group to try and outdo each other. And in their case it’s not who holds the best backyard barbeque but it’s a gala on their yacht. And like most people don’t think too much about the cow who’s meat is now on the grill, they don’t think about a few thousand workers they swindled out of their wage.
