Why do people think that politicians geniuenely care about them?
People are retarded
>>540057784People believe a jew is their lord and savior. Bless Israel goys!
Mine does.
>>540057784>Why do people think that politicians geniuenely care about them?Wishful thinking.Human beings are genetically wired in group livings, which each member of the group helps each other. The society changes much faster than genes, hence this mismatch.
>>540057784Government run education systems.
In a (universal suffrage) democracy, a politician's future depends on the perception the common folks have of them.In other words, they must learn to please your average guy if they want to be elected again.So, you get politicians>Lying about what they've done, are doing, will do to earn points.>Being corrupted af to rack in money/build a network to make sure they can live like kings even if they aren't elected again>Mix of both>etc.In the best of worlds, a politician doing what he promised and being as virtuous as a saint still creates a massive problem: they pander to the average folks.We then get a mediocracy. That is the logical conclusion to universal suffrage.

>>540057784Because politicians are usually very skilled con artists and people in general are naive and gullible. By the way, if you think you can't be conned, you're the perfect target for a con artist.

Ignore the bot replies. If you want to actually discuss anything coherently - be it geopolitics, history, finance, conspiracy theories, metaphysics, the answer is getting 5-15 active people in an invite only chat isolating yourself from the group-thinking horde. Everything is upside down, if you want to have civil discourse you need to isolate yourself while every jingoist crazies loitering on the openweb and it's only going to get worse. Complaining doesn't work.

Any namefags forums eventually fails out. No one really exchange convo on Twitter. It's not about the numbers. It's the sense of censorship present all the time. People are afraid to say slightly wrong things. How do you learn things without being wrong first? Everything is sanitized for Ai training. Sense of discovery gone. Raw human engagement gone. You are not observing, you are being observed. If you feel like chans are the only place left this axiom applies - strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people, then we're stuck. All chans suffer from low user count. Only generals on /poI/ go over 300 replies and they're like chat rooms for circlejerk minus it's on the open web. Chat is a a downgrade and not telling you to leave chan but I can't think of better options atm. I don't want to clog up IRC with /pol/ things. There's no systematic, programmable solution, it's the people using the internet who r at fault here https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/539447099/#539457056
