Politics is violent coercion. Millions woke up today realizing that they will be governed by someone they did not want to govern them.
If a position of power over others exists, it will be hungrily sought by the least and worst among us. If being given a "choice" between a real estate thug and a halfwit party girl does not prove that the least and worst rise to power in all governments, everywhere, every time, a quick review of civilization since the rise of Sumer ought to do the trick. Or check out the obvious genetic degeneracy of the deeply inbred King Chuck, titular (d)ruler of the failed state of Great Britain.
Edward Abbey said, "Anarchy is democracy taken seriously."
Either we are fit to rule ourselves, or we need to build political power structures to rule over us. Every political system ever instituted has been climbed and taken over by those incapable of anything better than a life of theft and violence.
I concede, you and I are, and have always been, equal. I've always believed this.I think the average peson, is going to have a tough time when this non-fiction slaps them upside their heads?! It's a strange feeling I have this morning,Rohn( If I may call you by your first name?) it's a Calmness,Strange... Thank You for your insight on this journey we find ourselves on. Blessings 👠
I can dig it, and the spirit in which you meant it.
Nonetheless, be mindful that because cream is separated from milk, it mostly consists of fat.
I am not "glad" to be here (I would have preferred that my mother kept her legs crossed and my father kept his pants zipped) as I cannot recall life before being born. And, as far as I am concerned, I would have opted to remain in that stasis.
BUT, if I must be here (which is nebulously obvious) I AM glad to be here with the likes of you and those like you. Slim pickings, notwithstanding.

The long and winding road, dearest.
In life, we can swim with, or against, the current.
Nonetheless, we end up in the same place.
A friend of mine said once,fat floats and cream rises ?! We're all Riders on the Storm, I'm glad you're here. Blessings 🙏💔
