What the hell is with this latest trend in US politics where a bunch of shadowy lobbyists / NGO’s will target political party members on the brink of senility, and groom them into taking over their entire professional function / back office like some kind of parasitic larvae?

Literally I am seeing zombie politics. 🧟‍♂️

Does nobody else see this? Many of the victims are so old and frail they need help to just stand at a lectern. Their legacies are destroyed as they monotonically spout politics from autocues that are often diametrically opposite to the beliefs they advanced in their early careers.

Are audiences really so unthinking that they just swallow this stuff… Familiar face, familiar name, must be OK?

I hope this trend never comes here. 🇬🇧

It’s starkly obvious plutocracy and Americans don’t seem to have any kind of radar for it?

Super weird.

Zombies voting for zombies. One of many signs of a crumbling empire addicted to fiat.

I believe about half the country agrees with you. The other half does not seem to care. Like I have been saying, aliens is about the only rational explanation I have left. 😂

Whatever side you are on, I'd think that standing (or sitting) upright and speaking in complete sentences would be a minimal requirement of holding public office...

You're not the only one who sees it. Biden, Pelosi, Fetterman, etc...

(Not only senile but the mentally incompetent too)

Power needs accountability.

In indefinitely repeated games you get very different play styles than in games with a known end point. In particular, with repeated Prisoner's Dilemma cooperation can be maintained as long as it isn't known when the game is ending. Once the endpoint is known, cooperation is no longer a stable strategy.

My sense of what we're seeing, is that the ruling class sees the end of the game coming and they changed their strategy. The new strategy is a brazen cash grab, because there's no longer a benefit to cooperation.

How long did your last PM survive after trying to expand the UK’s energy production in opposition to the climate agenda?

I’m thankful they still have to pretend to get people elected here. That probably won’t last much longer unless things change pretty drastically.

Many world leaders are. It's finally common knowledge.
