Denmark on Sunday made its displeasure known after the wife of President Donald Trump’s most influential aide posted a social media picture of Greenland painted in the colours of the US flag.
Katie Miller – wife of Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller – put the contentiously altered image of the Danish autonomous territory on her X feed late Saturday, after the US military operation against Venezuela.
Her post had a single word above it: “SOON”.
What the fucking is wrong with all of our leadership?
Oh that’s right! Like 90% of the global political class are morally bankrupt corporate-whores who grovel at the feet of capital… possess no true leadership, vision, morals, or ethics… beyond whatever virtue signals and platitudes they think will poll well.
The sad part is, they seem to not be able to see themselves in any form of real power. They are perfectly content to grovel for scraps while giving up any power they actually had, so that in the end they have no meaningful amount of power, or wealth. So they really think that amassing $25 million means anything? That’s not even enough to play at the same table as the ‘rich’. They could have kept them in check with legislation, but they’ve given up that power as well
More like 100%. Tell me one politician that holds a (global) position of power and isn’t
Sure… the problem is the political class, not the fact that populations are voting those into power again and again like brain-dead.
Who can yo vote into power but members of the political caste?
Oh yes, you can join a party and brown nose your way up, but by the time you reach the point where you can actually be elected into a position of power, you have been utterly corrupted.
Or you can found a party, which will either have no adequate funding to compete with the established parties, or will be utterly corrupted by those who like things staying the way they are. Also, the moment a new party looks in any way promising, it’ll see a torrential influx of opportunist new members who want to use it to further their own self-serving interests. In the end, those will inevitably make if to the top.
So political caste it is.
Union leaders but they have been neutered to the point IBEW members vote for MAGA and receive no punishment.
No one is ever allowed to come within arms length of the levers of power unless the system either owns them or owns evidence with which to compel them.
We don’t live in a caste system.
The reason non-corrupt people aren’t elected is the fact that the media will loudly tell the voters why that person is truely incompetent and insane every single time. They so because they are paid be the ones protecting their corrupt assets.
Now, what is the actual problem here? Stupid voters helping to exclusively get corrupt people in power because they fall for the same bullshit every time. Or the fact that there is an imaginary caste system and everyone born into it is evil?
How else would you describe a system in which power is held by a very exclusive club that’s living in its own kind of reality?
Yes, the media are playing a big part in the corruption, be it corporate media through their owners, or public media through political influence.
It’s definitely both… However, in the short term, specifically in the case of the US, this current climate is on the voters/non-voters.
