Yes. Unfortunately politics works on basis of promising stuff (money) to people for votes which makes them dependent more on politics (state). And each cycle the spiral is getting deeper and deeper...

My fear is that there is no peaceful way out of it. Or better those are exceptions.

Oh, no. We are spiraling to the point that violent insurrection is the only recourse of the state isn't crushed under its own bulk.

Politics and Democracy are nothing but tribalism. Those voted to power try to benefit their tribe

Trump is the most glaring example of this

Politics is seriously broken around the world

There has to be another option

Politics is unstable tribalism, yes.

Yup. There are other options. They mostly start with taking enough responsibility for your life that you don't need to participate in that system.
