In many European areas, the immigrants outnumber the Europeans now. All according to plan.
Governments are corrupt from the top to the bottom. What kind of person wants to be a politician? Someone who wants power. Usually their character sucks.
Physically pull them out of their mansions and give them their just punishment.
They need to be AFRAID.
Yes. It's not true that "power corrupts." It IS true that the corrupt are drawn to power. That's where the problem lies.
I like that perspective.
People who have good intentions have seized power or otherwise come into power only for the temptation to abuse it to become too much to ignore.
This is explored in a lot of literature, and is fairly observable through history.
In modern day, you may be right but that is because the people in power are entrenched to the point where good people genuinely can't gain power.
It is a philosophical statement not for its absolute truth, but more critically to serve as a warning to be wary of what power can do to a man.
I still think that this idea of "power corrupts and there's nothing you can do about it" is an intentional manipulation that has gone on for centuries. It makes decent, normal people wary of anything to do with power, so they avoid it.
Which is exactly what the sociopaths want: For decent people to stay out of the way so they can keep all positions of power, big and small, for themselves.
Don't fall for that. It isn't "power" by itself that corrupts anyone. If it seems to, that only means that the person had sociopathic tendencies to start with and power simply made them worse.
My husband was offered to be a manager of others at his company 3 times. He would have been great. Each time he turned them down.
He knew you would have to do something unethical at some point. For instance, everyone works great, but you have only a few increases in pay you can give. And sometimes, someone has to take the low rating even though they're a good worker. He didn't want to sell his soul. For us, it was the best choice.
