If they haven't thought this through I'd be surprised.

This is just every country on earth though. It's usually better to have just one gang in charge, or ideally two going back and forth so neither gets too comfortable.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in I spent a year preparing for a reporting trip from Senegal to Morocco to Spain. My team and I set out to connect three of the biggest stories of our time: climate change, global migration, and the rise of far-right political leaders. Now that we’re back, AMA! by npr

You're overcomplicating it. The government of any country is the sum total of the will of the people that make up the country. If your will isn't being represented by the actions of the country you're in, it probably means most people think differently from you.

Government is also never a static thing, and to cling to that idea because you're butthurt about most people wanting to help other people out is delusional.

Most people in the US struggle daily for survival, and as the power shifts towards those people again and away from the oligarchs, the use of collective power will naturally shift towards forms of aid to other people, and away from robbing them blind for the benefit of the few. That's why these stories resonate with most of us, and make you uncomfortable.
