How We Went From Politics Of Change To Politics Of Showmanship

amazing documentary of how people seeking to simplify the world and how their lie have shaped the world :

I find claims of something new under the sun pretty rare.

There's a long history of politics as showmanship, so it's not like Trump is that much of a surprise.

And if we've learned anything from spiritual development, after big positive change a big ego backlash is the norm.

Complex mechanical systems maintain homeostasis.

Isn't showmanship something that has always been the norm? I mean Hitler was a very charismatic man who was very convincing in conveying his convictions and ideas. And he was able to convince a whole nation to commit genocide and wage war with the world. 

Not only politics. Also look at sports, I don't know if any of you guys watch Boxing and MMA where they work with a Pay-per-view broadcast. But not necessarily the best athletes garner the most views or make the most money, it is the most charismatic and enticing personalities that attract the most attention and convince the fans to spend money to watch them perform.

Same goes for acting, the best Shakespearian actors of the world are not the highest paid nor most popular actors. It's the one with the pretty face and the most charismatic personality(Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, etc.).

You can go on and on.
