Naming individuals doesn’t help; in fact we do see sacrificial lambs produced from time to time to show us that the machine can be trusted to keep itself clean. It is interests, not individuals, that dictate the affairs of state, and there is no individual who cannot be replaced.
It’s a mistake, I think, to believe that, had Trump (or Boris Johnson, for that matter) not stood, the resulting R (tory) administration would have done anything substantially different. It’s not even safe to assume the counterfactual winner would have been any less outlandish or unhinged. Half the country saw the outlandish, unhinged shit and voted for it. Someone very similar would have emerged to fill the Trump-shaped hole, pursued the same divisive rhetoric and played the same role, perhaps with a slightly different vibe.
Still observing this hiarchy psycopath nation I wonder who or what is at the head of the snake. What DON calls the shots?
I suspect the most wealthy dynastic families in the world are at the helm but this is hard to prove as they operate in the shadows. They even create the very shadows they hide in while pulling all the strings.
If the super wealthy aren’t the focus, who or what is? Citizens are not going to stop fighting amongst themselves without a new narrative and a new target. If you can’t name it, then what?
