What the fuck is wrong with this planet?

I'm only 23 and have only been paying attention to it for about 5 years, but I am already completely sick of politics. I just can't stand this bullshit anymore. It never fucking ends.

I have yet to see a single politician that wasn't a back-stabbing, lying, hypocritical asshole blatantly in the pocket of some industry or interest group.

Republicans, Democrats, even the so-called "independents" and third parties. All of them. All the same. It's all fucking bullshit.

What the fuck.

Obama seems like he's at least TRYING to fulfill his "Change" and "Hope" promises, but the closer I look, the more frustrated I get with the rest of the country. He's made some bad calls, sure, and I'll bet he's surprised to be making largely the same decisions as his predecessor on some issues, but at least he seems to be trying.

It was only during the past year or so that I really got into global politics. I thought, "surely the rest of the world can't be this bad." I was wrong. America may be the butt of jokes, but every other country out there has the same fundamental problems taken to different extremes.

I have come to the conclusion that the entire fucking planet is either stupid or insane. The human race is, for the most part, a vast herd of ignorant, irrational pricks. I've always had a vague sort of amazement at the stupidity of the masses, but only in the last couple years has it really hit me how massive the scale of it is.

If I could punch everyone on Earth in the dick, I would.

So that's the problem. But what's the solution? There isn't one. Not one that would bear fruit in my lifetime, anyway. We can only educate our children as best we can and hope future generations outgrow our bullshit.

I can't fucking stand it any more. I'm done.

Politics is politics. Everyone needs power. Power can be obtained through (primarily) military force and/or money. That is never, ever, going to change.

I'm a communist. If we became a classless society we could solve a lot of our current problems in politics.

Ya, and they are now too powerless to stop the perpetual abuse being hurled at them. They only serve as a buffer to stop the lower classes getting really, really angry. As they are inevitably going to. The middle classes of Western societies are becoming 21st century serfs and by weakness of will and the nature of our decrepit society, can and will not prevent their coming erosion
