People are so desperate from hunger that they've turned into economic pawns. Those who should be fighting for their rights are instead just lying down, hoping for a few drops of water to survive another day.
Leaders, who should view their citizens as royalty since they’re the ones who put them in power, actually treat them like subjects. It's pathetic how people will accept 1,000 or 2,000 just to keep quiet. This situation is a growing issue in our political and economic landscape that demands immediate action. The powers that be have realized that these people will still come to grab whatever cash they offer, even if it means going home still starving. So they exploit this weakness, using the masses as tools to gain power before turning against them.
They throw campaigns and political events, knowing that these desperate folks will stand under the hot sun for hours just to get 4,000 or 5,000, only to return home unhappy. It’s a cycle that keeps repeating, and leaders don't take the masses seriously because they know how to manipulate the situation.
Hypocrisy of the masses

The politicians have one simple strategy. First, they steal your money and hoard it to provide infrastructure for the society. Lastly, they force the price of things up. That's what they do to keep the masses a beggar forever. In a world full of poor infrastructure in developing countries, suppliers will spend more to transport goods within the country. That will increase the price of goods in the country as well. Poor electricity, high price of oil, all of these things are happening all at once in one country. What do you think will be the faith of the masses because 80% wont be able to find a solution to these problems.

Nothing is clear. In which country do they distribute thousands of dollars to the hungry masses? I'm also willing to stand for hours in the sun for this. In any case, it's better to expect a donation of thousands of dollars in the hot sun than to expect a handout while freezing from the cold. But seriously, why should the population have any other attitude towards politicians besides the mercantile one? After all, for politicians, the population is just a commodity, the electorate, which they almost always deceive in their election promises.
Just as an empty pocket teaches people to understand the world, a hungry stomach teaches people the necessity and bitterness of living in this world.
To gain knowledge about real economic dangers and about it, people should live without money for some time, even if they want to.
Because only after this experience do people start thinking about being frugal based on the necessity and knowledge of business and income.

"Keep them poor so that they can obey you!" That's their plot against the people.
I know the country you are referring to, but possibly, I guess you are referring to more countries, since the same explanation fits a few of them in a certain continent. This is why I would like to absolve the world about this because majority of the world doesn't behave like that, I mean, even those countries that are poor and suffering from bad governance
Unfortunately, some countries' citizens have sold their integrity and could betray their brothers even for a plate of pottage.
First of all, I think we should know who is in control. It is easy to say this thing is right and this thing is wrong, but does this feed your family? People, especially those who have no capability, often fall under the mercy of people who are in charge.
There are also cases where some people stand for what they believe and try to expose corrupt officials, but gone missing in the end. Under this kind of administration, people are living in fear. Although they know it is wrong, most will choose to keep quiet and accept what little this corrupt leader is giving them than sacrifice their family and be slaughtered. After all, most people choose to survive, especially when they know they do not have enough power to change the future.
And this is very effective because people don't have the resources to stand against them unless these people wanted to become martyrs.
I say, these countries are rich enough that they are able to supply their citizen that much even after plundering their nation's wealth.
This is the weakness of the people and the evil of being alone. When people raise slogans for justice together, the government is bound to provide justice. But if someone only thinks about personal interests, then collective progress will never come. Yes, people are very greedy individually, the state can buy them off with a small amount of money, that is, they can shut their mouths, but if someone does not fall for that greed and dares to call bad bad and good good, then justice will definitely come.

Unfortunately this is the situation that politicians all over the world has adopted as away of getting into power. Politicians know that the more economic power that the Masses have the more questions that, will be ask by the masses this will make the people to be more aware and hold the government accountable. So to avoid this government all over the world has come up with a strategy to make sure that they keep the rest of the masses poor with economic power, this will in turn make these masses to turn the the government and collect the crumbs that will fall from the political table. The situation is even more worst when it comes to developing countries because corruption and impunity has made it in such a way that the political class has become unpredictable and so the will of the masses is twisted to the favour of the political class.

We should know better that all these hardships and sufferings caused by these politicians we have, are being strategized by them to make the masses succumb to them, so that they can use and dump them for whatever purpose they wish at any time.
The politicians know that if they allow the masses to be rich, things work out fine for them, and they won't be easily controlled by them. But if they cause suffering and pain to the masses, they will be worshiped and seen as demigods by them, giving them little money at time intervals will make them do what the politicians say.
When I saw the victory of the opposition party in Hungary, I was happy that democracy still works in countries. Viktor Orbán lost the elections after sixteen years in power. In some countries, the ruling government would do everything including buying votes just to win elections. Péter Magyar won the election regardless of the support of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
It's really terrible how people sell their votes for peanuts while politicians live in luxury after elections. The truth is the masses cannot be held captive by corrupt politicians forever. Power would surely change hands through elections, a coup, or a revolution.
Nice speech, but you seem to be living in a strange land and a world that does not reflect reality. "Leaders who are supposed to see their masses as kings" is a really silly way to look at things, sure - leaders are meant to be grateful and should be working for the best solution that appeases the majority of people, but to reach such a height you have to navigate through some pretty treacherous waters. There is also research that leaders tend to have more psychopathic behavior than the general population, so they're not always good people and sometimes you need to be that way to get things done. If we're talking about politicians in particular they also come from different backgrounds to the average person so would really struggle to relate to the every day challenges of the population, they have to try extra hard to understand even with a likely expensive education.
Its a sad reality. When people are struggling to survive, it becomes easy for politicians to take advantage of that situation.Hunger can make people accept small money just to get by for the moment, even if it doesnt solve anything long term. And once leaders see that this works, they keep repeating it because they know it helps them stay in power.
At the end of the day, things will only change when people start thinking beyond short-term gains and demand better leadership and accountability.

Yes I concede to that that but you missed the first part of the government which is to pretend and get you to vote them after you vote them they unwrap their true state of mind. The government are expert in concealing their own identity and you can easily trust them before voting for them.
The faith of 80% of the masses is in the wrong hands, the uncaring hands of the government, their faith are most likely in their own hands.
This is a general problem in many county of the world where corrupt politicians lead and make fake promises that have no bearing just to get into power.
The masses rally behind whoever they think has money because such a person share few funds to them that isn't worth anything and those who refuse to do same because they have a good plan to empower the citizens, get put aside.
The solution would be to encourage masses to get to vote for their true candidates without accepting anything like campaign money or gifts to start their mind. The agenda of the campaign should be the focus because we can hold leaders to their words, but saying who would win is more than just a though but a call to action to get the right document to vote and look at past records of performance and character in order to make the right choice.

There is no point in taking the masses seriously. Just look at the idiocity that mass hysteria can create. The entire Third Reich of Nazi Germany was built on irrational anger, fear and panic of the masses. Public opinion can be manipulated so easily... The so-called leaders who would manipulate the masses are no better.
If the system does not work than instead of trying to change human nature, one should try to change the system.
Hypocrisy requires options. Not abstract you could simply decline the money type of options. That's not how actual humans in actual poverty operate. You are using a moral system in which individuals are given the option to make different decisions. Most of them don't. It is the entire matter that is being lost in these debates.
And yes, the leaders are exploitative But exploitation does not have to be a complex matter. It simply requires a hole. Disconnect between what people require and what they can obtain by themselves. Expand on that distance and you essentially possess the choice of people, without necessarily imposing anything. It is more effective than any dictatorship.
We have made violence towards the bottom common. It is never why is it being offered but always why did the poor accept it. We do not ask the supply side of this equation. Only the demand. And that's weird right? We would view both in any other situation.
Something no one talks about. The shame. Individuals are aware of the actions they perform when they gather such money. They know. And they go home and they feel it. Shame does not fill your stomach, or pay your children their school fees so it comes down your throat, round and round again and again, and yet we think we are analyzing it? It's not. It is merely repeating the same and glossing over the mechanics of it.
The fact that the masses reproduce shows that they are not weak or stupid. It reproduces because it was created to. The dependency is not an issue in this case, but the entire product. And so long as the conditions that produce this dependency are not really disturbed by somebody nothing will change. You see, we shall have the same thread next election. Guaranteed.
Stop calling the hungry hypocrites. Begin to question who is getting anything out of that.
Leaders intentionally makes their follower hungry to the point that they dont have a choice than to beg them for money and help. This is the weak point they always want to see their followers succumbing to, because thats the only way they can control them. Leaders are very smart and they can do anything to make sure that they go back into those seats theyre currently occupying, either legally or illegally.
We now have a changed mindset on how we see things and how we are to react in the community as the case may be. We tend to not even see a need to blame their actions and always looking for ways to get their favours which in turn are our rights which we are not supposed to be asking for or begging for. The whole point of leadership is for the leaders to serve their followers, but in this case, we are seeing the reverse of it.
This kind of situation differs because in a well organize country you cant find citizens doing such, although theyre standards set but, when its too late you might just want to live with it. In most countries the political power is no longer earned by hard work, masses choice etc rather its bought with money, when theres power no one dares challenge the system either you dont want to stay alive. I dislike the fact masses are no longer valued, our voices, no more freedom of speech.
Hypocritical masses also spoiling things for the system, just imagine joining all kinds of campaign for money in return suffer many years without getting an actual money meaning no job, financial freedom, all this sounds wrong right, its always the uneducated ones with misplaced priority.
Deceit is their first tactics sorry I missed that part out. First, they deceive you if it doesnt work, then they use bribery to gain your support for their upcoming election. Next year is an election in my country, and trust me, it is already happening. You need to see the large mass that came out for the President's campaign when he visited a state in the southeast. Sometimes I wonder if this is not the same people complaining about how the country is suffering under the current government are the same people supporting them.
One problem about most citizens is that they are as corrupt as the politicians, Even though the politicians are corrupt and they are the cause of the problem you must also remember that they are the reflection of the people. The same things would keep on happening even if you end up kicking out the current politicians that are in power, it is more of a mindset problem of the people that needs to change. indeed the masses are hypocritical because they are also capable of the same crimes that they criticise but they don't have the opportunity yet.
