Our political system has a cancer from inside an degenerated into a muddy something which servers everyone but the people in fact. Those who should rule are degredated into consuming voters- whereas the political class is not ashamed about anything increasing their own privilages.
And the mass-media spread around propaganda of neo-lib type- even succsessfully- making the people believe that it must be this way and there are no alternatives than to sacrifice the God of economical growth!
A bunch of sheeps is led around and the most will not even complain if they are properly shaved.
Who is fighting war- for whom and why?
While soldiers are dying who has a bad conciesness, sadness--- while checking his bank account(s)?
While people are starving- who has a bad conciesness, sadness---- while counting the carats of the jewleries?
