    How would people not lose faith in a perverted form of democracy, where pretty much all you can vote for are different collections of lying self serving bastards employed by the ultra rich in order to fuck over ordinary people for their profits?

      That’s bullshit. There are plenty non-corrupt parties on the ballot. It’s just that voters willingly vote for the “collections of lying self serving bastards employed by the ultra rich”. Turns out you can’t vote for murdering migrants at the border without getting morally bankrupt bastards in the government.

        They start out non corrupt due to lack of opportunity. As soon as they gain power, they will become increasingly corrupted. The nature of politics strongly favours ruthless careerists, and in the end that leads to the large and powerful parties mostly consisting of people who would sell their own grandmother for personal profit.
