Centralized power is basically a whole bunch of Politicians with very powerful positions all pretending to be independent when in reality, there is only 1 mind-frame behind them all.

As soon as one Politicians loses credibility, they replace them with another Politician. They pick who they think will best fool the people.

No matter how many times you vote, you lose because you are really voting for the same ideology every time no matter who it is. That idealogy is that you are a slave to be milked by the deep state. This is not true but when you vote for a politician, you are always voting for this.
