I wish there were more philosophers in politics and universities. I am worried that more and more people are starting to be influenced by those who see politics as a kind of war where one side must dominate the other, and not as a system for negotiating between the voices of a society that, if it is to survive, must be for the good of all.
@samuteki sadly, it seems like a lot of people just want it that way.
An awful lot of people don't just say politics is a fight like that, but they actually openly push it to be a fight like that, openly supporting politicians for being fighters.
A lot of people want politics to be a WWE wrestling match.
Personally I think this is due to people just losing faith in our institutions, and so they figure it might as well be entertainment.
