Until we have a system in place that enables full accountability and full transparency from our leaders, as well as fair voting practices and a platform in which everyone can have an equal voice and equal access to services we do not have a true democracy.
I sometimes wonder if people are not in a state of apathy from repeatedly and consistently being let down by their elected officials. I feel that trust has been broken on so many levels and rather than try to repair the damage done, facts are being skewed, fingers are being pointed and distractions are being manifested to divert the attention of a society driven by social media.
In my eyes, ever since I was a kid the option has been none of the above. I wouldn't trust our "leaders" to repair anything. It's all spin & business. War is business. Its a sad state of affairs. Nothing a few well-placed blockchain projects couldn't fix I imagine.
This is what I was thinking. Today's empty promises are tomorrow's smart contracts on the blockchain. We get what we vote for as it should be.
For most people in politics these days. politics is the art of telling lies and getting away with it.
The few in politics who tell the truth and are not corrupt, they will be pushed aside by all the corrupt basterds.
