ah, right. now I'm curious as to context (I know nothing of the person)

my take on it: just as the first goal of a bureaucracy is to ensure its own survival, the same applies in politics. but with the extra flavour that it's not only your own incentives but also all other incentives to take into account in your actions. under "normal operation", by necessity you must allow the environment to influence if you wish to flourish. wartime, great suffering, great hunger, etc - these lead into times when you can make drastic changes against the grain and not necessarily be punished for it. at all other times, you need a lot of political capital and machination to bend everything around you all the time

it may also help to understand that these people operate on a very different .. ruleset(?) to what you would expect of another random human. the social contract is entirely different (not purely because of class/money/etc, but also not separate from that). it's literally that their thinking and shit is state-shaped.

it's amazing that the paper site has its own little pretty marketing pictures. easily digestible unseriousness!

still amazing to me that the pillers and "anti-woke" and all went so deep on the matrix, given that it was a trans allegory. way to miss the point, chumps
