    Indeed, mainstream parties are captured by the rich and both reconciling the public to having the rich take from their shares, and the government chipping away at their freedom and putting them all under the boot of the state.

    The only protest vote is the far right, and they are now supported by the US and Russia behind the scenes. They will win, sooner or later, and the US will help affix themselves in power so they never lose it, as they are able. The rot in the state(s) and institutions is so deep there is little to stop them, and no one willing to fight for the system that is already corrupted and getting worse every cycle.

    All while mainstream politicians continue on like it’s 1990 selling out people to powerful interests to steal their lunch and freedom, suppressing any popular reform in their ranks as if they can continue as they have been indefinitely.

    They learn nothing, the experts are paid by the super rich, and are the last ones we can trust on anything, let alone elections and political leadership. Only a fool doesn’t see it at this point though, no matter how many suits tell us to not believe our own lying eyes.

    Either we give voters popular reform, or the far right, backed by the US and Russian covertly and overtly, will. And their populism is fake, misdirecting anger from the rich onto scapegoats.

    Don’t discount the support of the US in putting them over the top, it’s a dire situation if we allow mainstream parties to continue on as is, concentrating on bringing the trojan horses (and redesigned trojan sheep as in age checks,) of age controls and chatcontrol that tech left outside the walls of liberal democracy in.
