>>Not so sure that the "deserving" is not the mainstream in the west. Twenty one year ago we were bombed for having the government we deserved, and for what it did. So, in a way, whatever the system loads on you, blame yourself for not changing the system on time. That's the lesson I learned back then.

>You can only deserve the government if (a) your voting actually plays any meaningful role beyond maintaining the illusion, and (b) once the government is in place they actually do what they said they would do. Both are false in almost every case. The purpose of government is only twofold; (1) to perpetuate itself, and (2) to do the bidding of the corporates that actually run the show.

IOW, if elections could change anything, they wouldn't exist.
