This is generally a subject that most people are always actively involved, but seldom want to be involved in. Politics is everywhere and there is nothing we can do about it.
Ever had a chat about work or government or anything where money is involved? Somehow politics has its way into every single conversation. It is like a disease that festers everywhere and just needs a few simple things to get it spreading like a fire.
Now here is a joke for you. A man that has committed crimes and raped women and has not even finished his high schooling will become a president. South African people love a great joke right? Well this happened, and he even got another 4 years... Now the whole country wants him to step down, but he has corrupted the whole system so badly that he can'y be voted out... We got our joke and now we dying... of laughter. (Oh how I HATE sarcasm)
This happens all over the world, look at the US and Trump. Well here is a few videos I love, hope you also enjoy them:

Now you wonder why people really love politics so much...

Just on a little side note for self improvement. I will be doing pushups, situps and squats for the amount of $$$ (ratio;$1:1) I earn on this post and will give a short feedback every day at the end of each post. This will be split in equally between all 3. Any not done will carry onto the next day.

my dear friend... in Italy as a joke we say... steal 1 euro and you will go to jail... steal 10 million and you will become a politician. Check out who Berlusconi is and what he did.

This type of stuff happens all over the world. It takes a special type of slime to float to the surface of the political swamp. Sometimes decent people get to the top, but most of the time, it's the self-serving trash with zero integrity and principles.
Worst of all, it currently seems to be an epidemic of disgusting people running countries.

Politics is a tough subject to discuss with people without coming off aggressive. People get offended if you let them know about something they weren't aware of. Educating people in the political realm is tricky business.

Politics has become nothing more than a bartering game for the chosen few, yes 'chosen' we elect these fucking idiots! When I say bartering I mean lobbying along with an inner governmental economy of backhanded payments for favours. It's all about money and paying back the puppet masters who funded a party's rise to power.

@webdeals it is not only in Italy. Here in Nigeria you steal just 5 Nigerian Naira and you are dealt with mercillessly on the street yet we have lots of politicians stealing the country's wealth and resources. Our politicians embezzle moneys that even their coming generation can not spend yet the masses keeps living in poverty. You can check out Diezani Allison Madueke

Hi @dragonslayer109, I've been slammed on a project over the last month but have just wrapped up and am trying to re-engage on here. I like your perspective on this. I am involved with politics at the state level here in the US and it gets even more interesting when you get past the more public figures! People here say it's a bug that you catch, and I could not agree more.

yeah, politics is everywhere because politics are a part of every day life. that's not all that surprising and it's certainly not a disease.
i don't really understand those people who *don't follow politics since their lives are directly affected by decisions made by politicians that they may or may not have voted for.

most of them just don't care about politics. it has nothing to do with depression due to what's going on. they just don't care at all. it's pure apathy.

The sad part is that voter turnout, at least in the US, is usually somewhere around 50%. That means that half are not voting! Disengagement and disillusionment is part of the problem too. Politicians know that people aren't voting and work to appeal to those that do, meaning that 50% of our population influences the way our country is run. Crazy
