Facts of (Political) Life

People act based on their beliefs.

Certain beliefs are beneficial for certain people. For example, Machiavelli argued that a prince need to be feared and loved. In a twisted sense, “fair” simply means beliefs that whoever screw me get screwed and whoever bless me got blessed. Somehow.

Because of that, people always maintain the beliefs that they are fair, honorable, feared, nice, and good to the point of decepting themselves.

People are stupid. Not in a sense that they’re idiot. Most of us are programmers, engineers, free thinkers, etc. We don’t know politic. I don’t when I was young. I barely know the surface of it now.
