The speaker is giving the illusion of being the same as the masses yet he is an agent of the oppressors, the one who will screw them all in time
Wow, people make such drama about "opression" nowadays. "Oh look, my life isn't as perfect as I dreamed, so the system opresses me, oh, poor me"
That's how you sound right now.
The problem about politics is corruption. In a democracy, the "power" is divided in order not to let one "rule all" the way he wants. There are those who will develop the laws acordding to what's best for society, those who will make sure these laws are applied, those who will judge if the person broke or not the rules, and those who will manage the country for the sake of population.
In a democracy, no matter the characteristics, no citizen is better or worse to that system.
Now, with corruption, the politicians use their position to favor people they like, to favor themselves. That brings problems.The laws aren't applied as they should be. The country isn't "managed" as it should be. So we get more crime, more poberty, more violence, more problems, in general. Health, education, conditions of life, they decrease.
This is what "screws us"
But don't come with that drama about "oh, I don't get all I wanted, I'm opressed", because maybe, what you want might harm other people, even with indirectly.
And I live in one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and yet, I don't make that drama.
