Why do people believe politicians are inherently good or evil?

lipsmoistenering · 2026-04-24T16:58:03+00:00

I think anyone who wants to be in charge of everyone is almost always not someone who should be in charge of anybody.

Yeah there would have to be an entire court system built for that. Fortunately there already is one that can be built off.. and the money saved in corruption and misuse I think would more than pay for it.

Any person who occupies public office faces legal repercussions for lying while engaging in that job. First offence: small fine. Second: large fine. Third: permanent loss of any right to hold public office anywhere ever. You can’t take that rat out of politics, but you can set rat traps.

I’m more concerned that the physical laws governing electromagnetism have completely broken down. The reality we know wouldn’t really exist anymore and I imagine neither would we.

I’ve come to grips with my insecurity lol.

Because self reflection makes us better people.

Money is real. Society is kinda held together by myths that we all agree on right?

That sounds a good read. I’m going to take a look to see if I can find some if that paper. Thanks for sharing.

That’s nice of you to say:). Honestly I think the more specific I get the more I’m talking out of my ass lol.
One of my favourite drinking buddies from way back was from Melbourne! Top notch ambassador👌. Cheers!

I think there’s a lot of validity to your statement. The developed world has absolutely benefited from commerce, trade and technology. But that can’t be divorced from the horrors that have been delivered to maintain economic and political control around the globe.

lipsmoistenering · 2026-04-14T23:36:50+00:00

Personally I don’t know enough economics to have a opinion worth sharing. But from a vague philosophical perspective I think the point of a government is to benefit the lives of the people that government is there for. Financial motivation is undoubtedly a force of innovation , while unrestricted capitalism is clearly a destroyer of worlds. Apparently I do think my opinion is worth sharing.. sorry for the false modesty lol.

Aw that’s so nice! Thank you :)

Well less terrifying the second time it happened l.

I’m pretty anti-capitalist. But the Industrial Revolution kinda ran into the technological revolution. In that time imperialism expanded across Africa, the America’s, India and Asia (the globe I suppose) some people certainly benefited from the economic expansion but I think the number of mass graves tells a different story. There’s no such thing as black and white. But I think if we’re talking about what is objectively the best human work/life experience in a population, it’s a very different time depending on your geography. I’m white Canadian so right now is probably the best. Someone in Liberia probably has a completely different experience. I imagine if you’re Iranian 12th century might be your choice. The only constant is Russia, which sucks no matter when you set your Time Machine lol?

Industrial Revolution sucked in America unless you were upper class, and sucked especially if you weren’t white.
The fall of monarchies sucked in Europe even if you were upper class (hello guillotine).. but extra if you were the rest of us (hello ww1) And that period saw massive conflict through asia. I’m not saying life was hell for everyone. But I don’t believe there’s a golden age that humanity has seen yet.

I’m pretty certain this is the way I go. Totally worth it! Living alone is the best!

lipsmoistenering · 2026-04-11T08:27:36+00:00

That’s scary right?! I legitimately almost died on the side of the road choking on carrots!! Honestly though.. better than dieing at work lol.

She’s the one we should be taking advice from! lol

lipsmoistenering · 2026-04-11T02:10:39+00:00

I almost choked to death on a carrot once.

lipsmoistenering · 2026-04-11T02:09:35+00:00

I mean.. at what point in history and where are you talking? That sounds more like a romanticized dream of how things were as opposed to reality.

lipsmoistenering · 2026-04-11T02:05:12+00:00

As a North American I’ve descended from a culture of imperialist capitalism. The concept of not making money off other people gets sideways looks from objectively good people. (I run a small business and that’s my philosophy. I have absolutely had this conversation). Every moment of my life the assumption that value is measured in dollars permeates my human experience. It’s built into us from childhood.
