If I have the agenda to parasite on you, I need to polarize and create a we versus your situation. When the French invented this, they called it left versus right. With that they created the discussion (a story) of the parasitic city elites (the hypocrelite) that does not take care for the people anymore, but only about the one elite versus the other elite. Leaving for people only the question what elite they like best! So that the people forget what is best for them.
The Left versus Right lie
The Left versus right paradigma is the parasitic city elite mechanism to wrench the population. Not the mechanism to provide good public services. The left versus right narrative is A fairy tale to stun and dominate the people.
Everybody can see that a modern society can not function without good public services. If we want to build a society without trias-parasitico or hypocrelite, we have to recognize that there are three attitudes possible from the individual towards public services.
If we look to the history of politics, we can clearly recognize another aspect of dominant division that is actual more critical to type of attitude towards public services, namely nation central dominance (controlled) versus "Laissez Faire" (let it be). Communists and (National) Socialists are clear historic examples of controlled politics. And nowadays, all technocrat politics have a tendency to soft or hard crowd control. The World Economic Forum is a typical example of this. Also, belief systems linked to dogma's about social organization and prescribe laws can be classified as controlled.
I then recognize three herds (groups) of people based on social engagement and attitudes toward public services:
The people who think (or have learned to think) that a public services is like a natural phenomenon. I call them "Naive". (The majority of the ignorant people)
The people who know that public services ar businesses with a guarantied cash flow and seek to benefit from that. What I call “the Parasites”. (The people with all kind of good stories why they should have a part of the tax pie but never talking about the real story). The parasitic-class.
The people who work together and like to solve problems, collective (together). In public services, or in non-governmental clubs. I call them “the Co-operates”. The co-op-class.
The Naive and Parasites have a preference for control. The Naive for full control by a government so they don't need to think about it. The Parasites for control by business and/or government (what ever benefits them the most)
The co-operates take responsibility for their social environment and work together for the collective benefit, they expect good public services provisioning without interfering unnecessary in their daily lives. And they understand that this is done by co-operation.
The big picture on the tensions in society today is (I think) the Parasites and the Naives versus the Co-operates.
If you go to university to get a good life, if you aim to benefit from the Naives you just want to be a member of the Parasitic-class (Hypocrelite). Or: You go to university to learn, because you are curious, you probably identify as a member of the Co-operates. A trias-parasitico always grows to the level where society can no longer cary the burden its core value (money) starts to inflate.
What are you?
What class are you? A Naive, a Parasitic, or a Co-operate. Or a mix?
