How would you analyze the Western world's more recent crop of imbeciles that oligarchic systems keep installing into power? Are these systems so universally broken now that they cannot even tolerate thinking figureheads? What would Michael Parenti's take on all this be?

(And yes I realize Parenti is still alive, he just doesn't do media anymore because he's suffering from age-related cognitive decline himself.)

Biden and Trump come across as deliberately-picked senile, amoral stooges who specifically were picked in order to unquestioningly and unthinkingly serve unpopular Zionist/MIC policies. I mean they quite literally are puppets. You don't want an honest person or a deep or even competent thinker in that position, you want someone who will do what you say and go out and pretend to represent the country they're "leader" of.

The politicians in the US congress are the same - the vast, vast, vast majority of them (so vast that even adding the disclaimer that it's "merely" a vast majority and might not be all) are there because they have been put there by lobbyist backers. It's not about smarts or decision making, it's about performing the role decided for them. They're buffoons meant to pretend to represent demographics who their backers have no respect for while actually representing their backers; they're there for the spectacle of politics, to keep any real influence over any kind of meaningful politics out of reach for the masses.

At the top level, could a non-senile person perform the role? It's possible they could find no one who would. The desires of the state are deranged. Obama is the only American president of the past 20+ years who came across as particularly cunning at all; Bush, Trump, and Biden were all buffoons and 2/3 were actively losing their minds while in office.

I also have come to think that the real influence of Zionism over the US (and EU) agenda has come to play an increasing role in all of this; I don't say this under the (wrong) assumption that Zionism never aligned with the interests of the American militaristic Fascism. If it was a fully alien ideology, I do not believe we would have gotten to this point. However, what I assert is that the political and military elites of "Israel" have their own interests and their own alignments which seek to expand their influence beyond that of a colonial client state, and I think that they have broadly succeeded even though their influence in the US still depends on a considerable amount of alignment with the American Fascist MIC project. My point here, though, is this: take a look at Trump or Biden, or even Milei, and then take a look at Mileikowsky. There's a sharp contrast in terms of buffoonishness, although in some ways there is overlap - like Trump, Netanyahu is ultimately a servant of the agenda of his state, for whom there are threats of legal accountability for his crimes if he fails to do the things the state desires of him. That said, I think it's very telling that the American political class seem to be largely morons commissioned to serve MIC & Zionist interests, while politicians in "Israel" itself are largely in line with the will of the Jewish Israeli public and not merely that country's arms industry.

It's interesting that the oligarchies of developing countries seem interested in selecting competent rulers–but only in developing countries that aren't under the thumb of the global hegemon. It's almost as if rule by gibbering idiots is a feature of financialized post-industrial oligarchies and their vassal states. What are the rulers of Singapore (a highly financialized post-industrial economy) like?

Israeli politicians are not puppets because many of the settlers are still bourgeoisie being granted (stolen) private property from the Israeli state. There isn't the same class divide for Israeli citizens as there is amongst American citizens.

I do think the idiots, the rapists and the druggies are deliberately chosen because they're easier to control amongst more developed capitalist economies.

Third worlders bare the brunt of imperialism so they know that politics is a facade which is why they tend towards dictatorships and if you even have the luxury to engage in political matters usually means they come from an elite background or underground nepotism
