Do you know why the media and high-scale politicians keep all the time pushing shenanigans toward people?
Answer: Because that way people keep reacting to these things over and over so that they may not realize they are in control over politics.
Why do high-scale politicians and powerful people keep acting as if they are entitled to patronize society and people should obey them?
One answer: Because they know people lost the sense that it is them that are in control over things.
People were conditioned through psychological torture to dissociate themselves with politicians by identifying themselves with them, so by that point, their desires become the desires of the politicians so that they can get a way to satisfy themselves by experiencing the delights of politicians.
People simply idolize politicians as they feel they have lost all their power to change politics in their favor through immediate means and in more local ways than large scale politics
The power comes from below, so you do not need to bow down to the caprices of powerful people.
If the decisions upward are not satisfying the population, people should not follow them
That is not right! Society was made for the bottom to dictate the top and not the top to dictate the bottom, so obeying a top that hast not the consent of the bottom does not make sense
