I agree with you there.
I think that’s part of the issue with neoliberalism, since it doesn’t care to reign in the abuses of the elites.
It’s interesting how the frustrated masses though are so ready to pick someone that’s clearly on the side of the ruling class.
I think that’s the part which might be more prominent in western culture right now. This paradox where people’s lives are made worse every day by businesses, businesses jacking up their rent, businesses gouging prices, businesses invading their privacy. And they finally have enough and go “we need someone to come in and run this country like a business.”
It’s amazing to watch millions of people have legitimate complaints and be completely unable to identify the source of their misery, so much that they hand it even more power.
