The Rules Of Power

By Leo Gura - March 29, 2025

Corruption IS the point! It’s not a bug.

One of the most important insights in politics is to realize that the leaders in charge, even absolute kings, are not really free, they are slaves to the laws of power. A pure, good, loving, truthful ruler is impossible because he was only given the position by other powerful elites in order to serve their selfish needs. As soon as he starts acting for the greater good or truth, he will be booted or killed by the elites who gave him power and expect him to serve their biases. This is why good, truthful, loving men are never in highest power. The whole point of a ruler is to serve corrupt interests at the expense of the masses. The point is to milk the masses, to extract their labor value or rob public resources and move it into the pockets of the top 0.01% of the upper class. This is how all governments have always worked and most citizens are too ignorant to understand this, never mind change it.

Ironically and perversely, the very people who are being milked by this system support the system with a passion because their minds are as corrupt as the rulers. Which is why fools enthusiastically go out and vote for MAGA, thinking they’re fighting corruption and elites. The whole system is so diabolically, intelligently yet unconsciously self-reinforcing. It’s a circle-jerk of corruption from top to bottom. The rulers, the elites, and the ruled are all unconscious, forming a standing cyclone of corruption.

The only ones who see through it all are the sages, the true philosophers who did the work to reach Truth, Good, Love, and God. And if they speak up, they are demonized or killed, either by the rulers or by the ignorant mob. The true philosopher is the only one capable of seeing through all this corruption. Why? Because she is the only one of the bunch who genuinely loved truth, pursued truth, and realized God. Because corruption is just a lack of consciousness of God.

Notice that every powerful ruler and elite is a godless philosophical-pervert. Sure, they will mouth God’s name, but not one of them has a clue what God is. And notice that the further disconnected they are from God, the greater perverts they are. That’s because, pervertry just is a measure of your distance from God/Truth.

When you see this, as the philosopher, it’s so crystal clear. The entire structure of society makes sense.
