Why Does Power Corrupt?

That's some wisdom there. And that explains why leftists, who make up by some estimates less than 15% of the population of this country have been able to take control of virtually every institution from local school boards all the way up to one of the two major political parties. Their minds are controlled by the negative aspects of human nature and that drives them to seek power. Of course many liberals and conservatives that seek power are given to negative aspects (primarily greed) as well, but some aren't. On the other hand 100% of leftists are, and with them it is rage and envy which is why they exult in violence and the destruction of civilization.

Liberal and conservative are both ways to rope people in. Liberal is more for the young, dumb, poor, emotional, non-white. Conservative is more for the older, wealthier, whiter, more logical person. But, they are both the same shit. Two wings of the same bird. They are both a ruse.

There are good people that attempt to do good things by running for office, becoming a cop, or joining the military - probably that affiliate with both team elephant and team donkey. They are not bad people. They are just misguided.

I'm sure Seattle is Bust has a good heart. He just hasn't figured out yet that the government is 100% immoral. There is no way to legitimize what the government does, and that's why they have to call themselves "government" because then people don't question it.

There is power that transcends left vs right. All you really have to do is look at the central banks. The international monetary fund. Etc. The left vs. right paradigm is just theatre for the slaves imo.

When will the average person stop worrying about who the next POTUS is and start focusing on step 1 let's become 50 independent "countries" and then start working toward true individual sovereignty for each person!!!

"Corruption" already exists in the human heart before power enters the equation.

Floating around the web is a testimony from an Asian man who immigrated to London in the 50's. He noted the unspoken cooperation among the Londoners as he went about daily life. Here was a city bombed heartily just 10 years pervious. Yet, a level of honesty and relative unity was prevalent.
He noted a news stand where an open can received payment and folks could even make their own change. Growing up on Queen Anne Hill they were called 'honesty' boxes. But since the late 50's and early 60's a whole host of tensions have entered the equation.

We can trace the demise of any country, people or culture.....all the way back to Cain and Able. We could simply chalk it up to entropy, predicted by the second law of thermodynamics. Everything is in a state of decay. And yet viable human government arose from the time of Moses and has shaped civilization ever since. Hope is not in government but its ascent to the truth. Yes, objective truth is indispensable.
It is not government in and of itself that is bad. It is the people that form its initiatives and in so doing codify its corruption as a force upon the mass.
Oh, don't we know from all the cast members since Washington crossed the Delaware.
Undivided power is always a ticking time bomb.

I think a lot of people who go into politics, do go in for the right reasons. But they quickly learn (and are told) to not 'rock the boat'. Because humans are naturally self-serving, they soon adopt the idea that, 'if it's good for me, it's good'.

This is why government runs so fat. Lots of government employees, fat salaries, perks, fat pensions, etc. All at the taxpayers' expense. The notion of serving others is quickly banished with that fat lifestyle.

Hard to tell who the bad guys and good guys even are anymore.

Seems like a pretty safe assumption they're all bad guys until proven otherwise...

Vance, Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, Kennedy?

Ya, all tier one grifters sent to DC to suck off and protect Trump.

I have no doubt that there are old guard Dems all over those files. But man, the dissonance it takes for 95% of posters here to see thousands of photos of Trump chumming it up with the biggest pedophile trafficker and rumors that he appears in the files upwards of 500 times and to think he's not implicated in this? Insanity. This week the DOJ forgot to redact a few stories about Trump in the files: 1. That he apparently watched as a woman's baby was thrown into Lake Michigan 2. That he had a weird obsession with nipples and would often leave these women's nipples raw.

The grift showed itself right in front of ya'lls faces when Musk turned on him. In 2022, Musk described Trump as an unsuitable president due to his age in response to Trump calling him a "bullshit artist".

Trump then no doubt promised Musk the moon from a business standpoint in exchange for Musk going full red-pill MAGA and helping him win the election. Trump's tariffs, threats to end H1B visas, and the BBB present a threat to Musk, so he does a 180 and tells America Trump is in the files and that it will all come out soon enough. Trump promises Musk the moon again from a business standpoint and Musk deletes the tweets.

Like how does anyone here see that play out and not see the massive grift?

I mean Jesus... Vance when from calling Trump "Hitler" to his VP pick.

These people don't care about any of you. It's all a fame and power grab in an effort to maintain corruption and protect the worst among us. Trump being the very worst.

Definitionally, the Epstein mess did not involve pedophilia....unless the victims were 13 years old or younger. Yes, it was abuse and prostitution at some level. But every Democrat should know that their brethren have called for the elimination of "age consent laws" since the and before the 60's revolution. Real smart pervs in Higher education wonderland call it 'intergenerational sex'.
Harry Hay, the original LBGTQ perv and member of the communist party (1950's and 60's) once said :"get them by 8 before it's too late"

Calling Trump a pedo is different disorder. Its called lying.

Check the footage of Joe Biden actually two handing children from behind and dropping his head down to smell them. Just sayin.

Oh, I’m sorry… Trump raped teenage girls. Does that make you feel better?

Oh and smelling = same offense as raping teenage girls???

What in the actual fuck is wrong with you?

You know, when something hasn't been proven nor has even been brought forward as a formal accusation and you present it as an absolute, that same question can be asked of you. Did you know that?
