Neoliberalism wants people to hate and dont believe in politics.
Because politics is the way to change things, in Democracy.
Politicians are just as good or bad like the society in wich they live, they are not aliens from outerspace.
Right-wing wins when someone hates the politic. Politics is about power relationships, if you quit they win (the rich, the bad politicians, right wing).
Some speeches and memes promote hating politics and politicians.
For example: "all politicians are the same".
Billionares, rich people, right wing and people with power want everyone to hate politics, and hate all politicians, even some politicians have anti-politics speech.
Each of us will have to know and discover wich speeches and memes promote hating politics and politicians.
I am with Aria on this:
Being a very political person myself, I have seen it far too often that people fall into the trap of putting all their hope into charismatic leaders.
This is not healthy, as it will inevitably lead into brutal disenchantment or, in order to avoid it, fanatism.
It's ok, we can disagree and its good, there is no only one way of thinking. My respects.
I just think that the word "politicians" can be taken out from debate. We can place just "people": We dont need to idealize "a person". In that way, i think we do not contribute to further devalue and erode Politics as a fundamental tool for social change.
Because real power, right wing and neoliberalism dont want us to believe in any politician or the Politics.
