In this special episode of Mysterious Goings On, we’re taking a brief departure from our usual content. As we transition back to our regular format, Alex is looking into a pressing issue: the dangerous idea that “all politicians are corrupt.”

Stay tuned for a deep dive into how this mindset might be playing right into the hands of those in power.

This is Why “All Politicians Are Corrupt” Is How You Get Played, originally published on Medium.
