Found this cartoon... Seems fitting lately, eh?
Mmm, my thoughts on politics...
We are trapped in a maze of reality that our culture has collectively, over centuries, (scratch that, millennia, when we go back to older western civilizations) created. Someone discovers something new only to have their information/invention exploited and manipulated by the powerful for the benefit of the wealthy. It's an old story, and we (even those who are doing the exploiting) have had a long history of believing the stories that ultimately are told to manipulate us out of our personal power. This is the basis for all politics. We're human though, and we sure do love a good story, even when we know deep down inside it isn't true. We love those stories so much we kill for them, we die for them and we tell them to each other. The story must live! But it's time to wake up from the dream we know as history. One long string of lies built on lies, while we kill each other and we kill the planet so that powerful and wealthy people keeping making a profit.
