About this listen
The hosts of The Slog Pod discuss how modern politics appears to be more about optics and managing outrage rather than achieving real outcomes. The hosts argue that politics has turned into a form of customer service where citizens are given lip service but no substantial action. They draw parallels to mental health, discussing how this performative governance leads to learned helplessness and emotional exhaustion among citizens. The conversation emphasizes the importance of honesty and accountability, both from politicians and citizens, and calls for a more engaged and less complacent electorate. They also critique the polarization of political parties and the performative nature of modern politicians, urging listeners to look beyond surface-level actions to find genuine representatives.#PerformativePolitics, #OutrageCulture, #TheSlogPod, #PoliticalFatigue, #LipServiceLeadership, #LearnedHelplessness, #RealChange, #AccountabilityCulture
