- bell-cot 4mo agoThe occasional saintly individual aside, no political elites - anywhere, ever - actually care about the good of their countries. They're usually willing to give lip service. And seriously pretend if that's a necessary means to some important-to-them end. Like many other things, late-stage capitalism's obsession with short-term results and delocalization of financial interests have made this problem far worse. It is a perfectly good plan to get rich by driving your country into the ground, then move to Switzerland before the collapse gets too messy.
