We all suffer from the same gigantic caste system. The basic measurement is whether or not you are part of the power structure. The average American civilian is an untouchable (deplorable). The upper castes consist of the local, county, state, and federal bureaucrats, politicians, contractors, NGOs, think-tanks, and academics. Whether elected, hired, contracted, or appointed to their positions matters little, as long as they are "serving" in the various groups which control and/or influence our lives. Beyond that is the international parasite class- WHO, UN, the Davos crowd, etc.

Regardless of level, I believe 99.9% of them don't give one aeronautical fornication about our wellbeing, as long as they prosper and get to stay in the game of thrones.

‘one aeronautical fornication’ Heh! Great line!

The thing is from a strategic point of view, we need to distinguish between the politicians of the left and the right - even though at times they endeavour to act the same.

Leftist have their own issues, but many of the right are driven by a desire to get along in Washington and not be called a racist amongst other things.

“If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected”.
