So "paradigm shifts" are wholly dependent upon elected, bureaucratic officials rather than the actual citizens of individual countries?
People that have free access to the internet. The conversations we are engaging in right now?
"No paradigm shift will happen due to them" - What?? Are these people GOD or something??
I meant in the context of the reliance of the population for the politicians to bring change - a false hope.
Most people here are timid and complacent, especially the well off ones. I can only gauge from the ones I have contact with and paint a picture which I draw conclusions from. And yes, for this part of the population politicans like Kurz are "god". He is seen and praised as being a "revolutionary" statesman, especially in the stuck up/antiquated ÖVP.
Internet access has been a life saver but only a certain segment is wandering off the trail into unkown territory. Of course one can say that it's only around 10% of the people which count and bring change, but these have to find a way and successfully eliminiate their competition.
The poor(er) ones might be up for a more "radical" solution but as a whole I have yet to see a real bite... buy, eat, hide and ignore is the rule of the day.
