We have been "taught" by corporate media that it is better to have limited-term leaders, who can act as temps, constantly thinking about their post-government careers, which corporations can help them with.
These corporations have CEOs who are often in power for decades. They prefer newbies as presidents, because newbies are relatively ignorant of power politics, and can easily be pushed around by well-connected old cronies in the corporate world.
One great thing about "dynastic" leaders is that they can develop a lot of political knowledge that can be carried over into effective policies, whereas temps like Justin and FJB... are just kissing corporate ass for a few years in order to feather their nests.
Right, this is an absolute catastrophe... the more that you learn of the actions of the CIA abroad, and the
continued wars of empire, the more impossible it becomes to ever envision any kind of democracy
anywhere without the collapse of the Western intelligence communities & military industrial complex...
Believe it or not, this is something that
American libertarians and conservatives are starting to learn about.... And it is something that the hippies who opposed the Vietnam war forgot.
Nonetheless, something rather powerful is happening, and we are starting to see more isolationism from conservatives again, and more critique of powers that be. "Woke capital" has also made some conservatives scramble for answers on economic questions because a rift is growing between them and their Reaganomics.
But a lot of people never hear about this, and I think there is an effort to increase the volume of the culture war in order to get
anti-establishment leftists & rightists to vote for establishment leftists & rights to "WIN THE CULTURE WAR!" But the only goal here is actually to have you herded onto the plantation of establishment politics and thus ready to co-sign all of their excesses.
May one day the principled left & right be able to put an end to this.... and not to fight over who gets power, but to agree to maximize decentralization, and to minimize every kind of accumulated power, so each local community can do what is right and support one another positively.
The more we relinquish control over one another, and the more we organize our communities voluntarily with the design of customized localities and re-integrated communities, the more we can have peace...
Real America was the 19th century mainstream libertarian types peacefully watching the radical left inspired by Charles Fourier and various anarchists and communists try their hand at creating their own planned communities, and even very regular Chrisitan conservatives being moved by the poetry of transcendental anarchists, who themselves were moved by the stuffy old Christian saints. We can do this again with so much better results - and we can do it everywhere.
