    The politics of the ignorant.

    People want a world where they are rulers over everyone and everything and often many people just can’t understand that there are other living, independent, free thinking individuals in the world. Most people see other humans as a hindrance to their own enjoyment of life.

    They love Luigi Mangione because he is against the private health system that is stealing their money … but at the same time they like Trump because he is against any socialized sharing of government resources - they believe that government should help only them or the worthy and not just everyone, especially those they think are unworthy.

    It’s a belief system that is based on the individual and only the individual at the cost of everyone else.
