But Mattias, politicians do speak the truth, in the sense that they dutifully read the script that is handed to them by their masters (not us, of course). As you may know, the political animal is a domesticated breed that merely advances the interests of its owners. This is somehow left out of the discussion, as if these entities, these creatures elevated to the position of public responsibility, are autonomous thinkers and decision makers. They are not, as should be clear from the unanimous response of the 'world leaders' to the multitude of crises in society today. War, austerity, fear mongering, and gaslighting are some of the 'remedies' applied. Do they themselves believe the sewage being constantly sprayed on the unsuspecting masses? I think they do believe that the manipulation serves a 'higher purpose', which is precisely the implementation of the ruling class agenda. The end justifies the means in their mind. The end is beyond ideology and lies in the conformist servitude of the corrupted mind, the flaccid ego and spineless character, which lacks the ability to maintain integrity, in other words, perfect material for the political automaton. It is just a form that is filled with the animating substance of the master's will.
To put it more bluntly, when a society is drowning in a sea of propaganda, and relativism takes complete control, how are ordinary people supposed to see anything other than bullshit, since that is completely obscuring and soiling the scenery? How can we feel anything other than hopelessness and being disconnected and discontented? To make this short, I don't believe the political creature can be reformed or salvaged, and forget about speaking the 'Truth'. It is what it is and serves the purpose for which it was designed. Of course, there are notable exceptions, although those are not 'true' politicians but people who went into politics hoping to make a difference in a sea of indifference and lies. If we were actually allowed to have our collective voice heard, would we vote for these clownish scarecrows? I think not. In the end, totalitarianism exists because we collectively allow it. What are we going to do about it?
