“A formidable opposition leader is arrested, but some drastic action was expected anyway.”
“What makes you say so?”
“The majority party has been caught on the wrong foot with a Supreme Court judgment about a scam to extort donations from the vulnerable. They will not let all the election preparation, publicity campaigns, hero-worship, some genuine achievements and glory slide down by a direct conflict between the people and the party.”
So, they will try to deflect attention by calling someone else corrupt?
Yes, and the masses will be swayed as usual—another’s vulnerability will be exploited to hide their own.”

the challenge is in the people, the masses, the only ones who know they have power are the people who recognize the useful power comes from within, not from a saviour/reformer/’I’m different type.
but the roar of the users telling the average person that they deserve whatever they want keeps them from hearing the truth
