Baudrillard. Not his "end of history", as placing fin at the end of chapters: The Berlin Wall, The Twin Towers, The Pandemic, such globally "influential" events are happening with increasing frequency that perhaps, in the coming years, we will become disillusioned to the paradigm shifts of the world; the ever turning pages just repeating a single word: lies.

Trust has to come from a place of respect. I feel as though there is a great divide in respect between the electors and the elected. There's even bigger a gap between the electors and the appointed, the bureaucracy that informs, that helps decide, that gives the illusion of a choice.

Democracy only works if it changes things. The bureaucracy, advisors and minds are still the same, regardless of who holds the honorific title of "leader".
