'...some kind of evil "deep state".'
Morals have nothing to do with it. It's about process and efficiency - and how the established de facto protocol of daily governing affects these. This is about what becomes the established conduct. The functioning of large organizations are based on two parts - the official rules, and the actual culture of operarion. The latter dictates how the establishment actually functions.
- XorNot 10y agoWhich again, would be a valid point, if the first shot wasn't clearly and obviously fired from the White House which engaged in an unprecedented purge of all executive positions, without even having nominees ready to fill most of them (70+ last I checked?) and which has been obviously filling the ones they can with political lackeys who are demonstrably grossly underqualified.
- fsloth 10y agoI don't disagree with you - but deep state is still an antipattern. Another political pathology - a recless executive branch - does not make it any better.
