@PraxisOfEvil @DrBtc This is probably what Skallas was talking about when he stole someone's idea of refinement culture. Things, over time, change slightly every year, to be more refined. The insular nature of the political world is probably like that.

It used to be politicians came from other walks of life, and had normal connections with society. Things have morphed slowly, and these days politicians are groomed from the academy and are taken inside on day one, and being an insider has got to be pretty *weird* now. And it's gotten weirder these days, and not just because of the extreme gay sex and child fucking that all politicians are known to engage in.

I think they genuinely do feel uncomfortable because there's such a massive gulf between what a constructed political creature actually feels and thinks and what they perceive an actual human feels and thinks.
