ICPPUL > Politicians
ICPPUL is an acronym that describes a type of malignant authority. ICPPUL stands for:
- ignorant, conflicted, privileged, power over, unaccountable, and lazy
(This is NOT representative of all politicians, or other forms of authority)
- ignorant: many media figures, politicians are ignorant on the subject matters the cover (or govern). For many, this ignorance is not a problem as entertainment or manufacturing consent is more important.
- conflicted: all politicians have financial conflicts of interests (directly and indirectly).
- privileged: many politicians have networks of connections , wealth, and better benefits than most of their constituents.
- power over: They make gestures of “power with“ (tell us what you think ..) but for some, this is just a gimmick that is espoused the light is on them.
- unaccountable: all politicians are pre-screened in an “invisible primary”, where candidates much compete for donors before they can become viable candidates. Only those laws or decisions that have the support of the donors are eligible for consideration.
- lazy: many politicians do not do the work on the substance of lawmaking because this sort of work is not rewarded.
