Elections are coming, and we start remembering our political elite.
Yes, of course we have such a thing. An elite group who work in acquiring, buying, and selling power. They don’t need to do much else because this is the most profitable profession. Not much is required to be a part of the political elite. You just have to listen and to be listened to.
The former is achieved through boot licking, the latter through force.
To be part of the political elite, you don’t need to possess morals or integrity. You only need to be as consistent as smoke.
Often, the political elite is composed of poorly educated individuals. Specialists in nothing. Even those who are specialists in something have forsaken their narrow expertise to become part of the political elite.
When it comes to power, the political elite talks expertly. They express opinions on all sorts of matters. They promise. They over promise. And do they ever deliver?
The political elite uses words such as ‘lawful’, ‘democratic’, and ‘legal’. They speak about ‘our voters’ and ‘our needs’.
The political elite loves refined things. It loves cars, investment advice and choice real estate.
The political elite doesn’t care much about the laws. They don’t abide by many.
THE POLITICAL ELITE HAS ITS ENFORCERS. IT OWNS THE MEDIA.
The political elite has no clue how those who are not part of it live. They are only interested in power. Everything else is just a means to an end.
When a faction of the political elite fails and falls, it has the ability to upright itself quickly. It forms coalitions. Committees. NGOs. PACs. Corporate boards. Principles are never in the way here.
The important thing is to survive. The goal of the political elite is to continue being the political elite. It is basically a tumor that grows and grows, and destroys the organism it lives in, without the slightest care about its fate.
The political elite has a short memory.
Let’s not kid ourselves, it has no memory at all.
The political elite is heavily dependent on the flow of money. The more money, the fatter the elite.
The political elite wants to be adored and re-elected. Vote-buying is a crime, but only for those who are not part of the political elite. Refusing to vote is shameful. (They should make that illegal too, to rid us of those dead souls in the voter rolls.)
IF THE PEOPLE DON’T ELECT THEM, THERE’S A WAY FOR THE POLITICAL ELITE TO ELECT THEMSELVES.
The future of the political elite is to merge into one large organism. To become the top of the food chain and be untouchable.
Come to think of it, we’re already living in just that future.
