Politics is not cooperative like the market; it is exploitative. The system is set up to threaten the identity and choices of others. Everyone must fight to survive and conquer. They must kill their opponents or be killed. So coalitions form, and constantly shifting alliances take shape. This is the world that the state -- through its election machinery -- throws us all into. It is our national sport. We cheer our guy and hope for the political death of the other guy
That’s from Jeffery Tucker at the Laissez Faire Books.
This so applies to the current deliberation of the impeachment case in the Philippines which is seen as a ‘national sport’- "we cheer our guy and hope for the political death of the other guy" as the much touted solution to "corruption" which is, of course, a politically concocted fantasy.
Little has there been the realization that this political circus serves no more than a distraction to the real purpose of the expansion of the regime’s political power.
