Everybody has their own agenda.
Those who benefited want to preserve the status quo.
Those who were left behind want change.
Change is difficult.
Dominate groups whether, ethnic, racial, religious or economic, tend to see the world in zero sum gains. That means if somebody is getting more, I must be getting less. And nobody gives ground willingly.
Bill Clinton
Government isn’t the worst thing.
Hierarchy originates from fear of anarchy. Government exist for the simple reason that it’s easier to entrust power to few rather than fearing the threat of many — everyone for themselves. From there we learnt to at least try to play nice.
Nobody has the right and only solution.
A democracy or a republic only work with their ideal situations. Like capitalism, socialism and communism, all ideology is at the mercy of unpredictable human nature.
I guess everyone has a different vision for the perfect world
