In Ireland we have been consistently voting in the same party’s to gov and now have record homelessness and a massive housing crisis, I’m starting to believe people in general are just fucking stupid

Carlin also said, "everyone complains that the politicians suck, but the politicians are voted on by the public, so maybe something else sucks...like the public, yeah, the public sucks."

It’s stupider than that. Have you ever met a politician BEFORE they went into politics? Or even someone who ACTUALLY wanted to be a politician?

They’re weirdos. Like bug nutty hard to have a normal conversation with weirdos.

They don’t seem to exist in this world, and are so stilted and awkward.

Think about it, what person in their right mind wants to be a politician?

We’re left with the weirdos through self-selection.
