You may of course turn out to be right, time will tell. All I’m saying is that I know that most people in governmental positions genuinly believe in the system they run. Most people in Brussels and elsewhere truly believe in democracy, the political system and the value of having a government and so on. Of course they are self serving to some extent (as all people are), but typically they think their ”grand plans” are truly for the greater good. Is there some elements of corruption, or indirect corruption? Probably. Is the entire government corrupt? No. One could even ask if corruption in general truly is the issue here? Or is the issue more about the fact that the entire system itself is dysfunctional long term? Personally I don’t believe in the dystopian narrative, it appears less speculative to assume that we are witnessing a system that is slowly just tearing itself apart over time by its systemic inertia, rather than framing it as a case of villains vs people.
