If you think politics is the solution to a world deeply problematised by entropic gradients of political turbulence, you’re either an idiot or you’re evil. Politics doesn’t solve problems, it feeds on them. It sustains itself by displacement — shuffling costs, hiding contradictions, weaponising blame. Nothing fundamental ever changes because the system isn’t built to change; it’s built to survive.
Every promise of “reform” is just another trick to keep the game running. If you believe in it, you’re naive. If you exploit it, you’re complicit. Either way, you’re part of the problem. The real solutions lie outside the theatre of politics — in how we think, organise, and build beyond it. Stop mistaking the performance for the work.

One reply on “Sound and Fury: Political Futility”
Politics is an emergent, and likely necessary, marketplace of communication.
It is not a solution to its own problems, yet it persists by dissimulating precisely such a kernel of strategic coherence and logical necessity—culturally self-validating, though never truly closed or complete.

Politics is not a solution to its own problems, yet it persists by masking itself as one, projecting a core of coherence, necessity, and cultural legitimacy that cannot in fact be fully realized. The moment you enter the political game, every hand is a losing hand. Survival becomes a matter of orbiting the deceptive art of making someone else’s burden appear heavier than your own. It is a state of perpetual zugzwang, carried forward with forced smiles.
