“Cast a vote, but don’t join a cult". “They are not our tribe. They are not your personality. They have their own interests, their own values, their own things they’re chasing. Try to get what you need from them, but don’t give yourself to them, even if you have to vote for them.”
If people adopted this mindset, politicians would be much more efficient, while many of them would have to get out of the political scenario, because there wouldn't be spot for them there anymore. It would mean the end of idolatry, and the beginning of a more reasonable society.
However, it's not going to happen anytime soon. I doubt most people are able to develop and transcend into that kind of personality considering how primitive they still behave, despite having access to vast technological content, what is a big irony nowadays... The more technology people have, more primitive the actions are.
And even worst is that if you decide for not belonging to any profane cults, you are most likely to not find any companion who you can talk and share ideas in a productive and rewarding way.
