A lot of people are missing the forest for the trees in this discussion about the rise of radical politics.

It’s worth noting that to the commoner little person, they really aren’t interested in political ideology, they want results, and many little-people hate the status-quo, because it crushes them whilst pretending to “protect and serve” them.
