I have been reading about politics for a few decades now, and actively getting involved in debates for about a decade. what i have learned is everyone has their own approach to politics, and they vary hugely.
So, what is politics? it is about resources, it is about talking instead of arguing, it is about peace and keeping the peace, it is about rights, it is about other things too, but those more or less would sum it up from my side.
It was on this forum about two years ago that i found my angle for politics - resources distribution. if you have resources, they need to be shared out with the rest of the country or region you preside over, or, there will be contempt. this could lead to unhappy citizens - another angle is to keep the majority happy, of course. it is also about getting votes - this it the ultimate goal of politics, of course.
So, my resources angle makes everything a resource. this could be human resources, emotional resources, raw materials, capital resources and liquid finance resources. in short, this is the one i choose to do things because it is so base, and, it works on needs satisfying in general, of course.
