Haha on the new name for Denmark! I'm working on a long thread I had with an imperialist over Maduro's kidnapping. It's always useful to remember how the other 99% thinks.
Particularly this gem: "..loyally blinded fans wouldn’t see the light even if you were the father of the most heinous bioweapon ever invented..."
Needless to say, this goes WAY beyond politics.
After all, graft is the unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain.
But, since politicians are puppets whose strings are pulled by a far more powerful, corrupt, and destructive puppet master, it would be more to the point to say that - graft is the unscrupulous use of an elite's power to use politicians for personal gain, and when things go belly up, blame the politicians.
Indeed, one may hazard to guess that that is what the elite started with, ie; graft itself is a scam manufactured by the puppet masters so as to commit crimes with impunity while getting the world to blame their puppets. Naturally, the public's insatiable appetite for this is fed, not just by their self-righteous contempt for the puppets, but by their fear of the puppet masters. A rather unpleasant fact that does not speak well for the public. In any event, in a world as corrupt as ours now is, anyone committed to living in reality, while clinging to their sanity, certainly has their work cut out for them.
