Governmental politics is 15 year old minds playing popularity games, but now for real money and power.
It is a strange sort of irony that we have to deal with. Perhaps extending back to Plato’s notes.
That those people who would actually feel a calling to rule, are probably the people that we would least want to govern us.
Because it seems as though those people learn the rules from their teenage years, of manipulation and popularity, and then never actually grow up, thinking maturity is the power to manipulate, thier identity and sense of Self shaped by power and popularity.
There is something to say about our general idea of maturity which creates people who never grow up.
