The saddest thing is, Macron's playbook doesn't seem any different from what I'd expect from most current politicians.
It feels like the real problems the world needs to solve are beyond any existing political will. So it's the downward spiral of denial and self-delusion.
- yardie 3y agoOne thing I notice about European politicians: they all come from the same background, come from the same families, same socioeconomic status, attend the same schools (Eton, Science Poe, etc), take the same jobs. At the end they all provide the same talking points and try to use the same programs. You can't expect change from the same people who have no idea they are the problem. And this is why diversity is critical in this era. Those same politicians have been ossified in their thoughts. They trundle out the same centrist playbook that may have worked in 80s 90s 00s. And then are surprised when an extremist trundles them in the elections.
