bryt_alozy commented: Politicians feed stomachs to starve minds. This is not charity; it's strategy. Hunger turns voters into beggars and reduces citizens to pawns in a game where their basic needs are weaponized for political gain. The sayings are true: “Feed them crumbs, and they'll forget their chains” and “A hungry man is an easy man to rule.” Just keep their stomachs empty, and their voices quiet and wait for one holiday season to dish out rice and bread because hunger silences rebellion. When leaders feed the people just enough to pacify them, hunger becomes both a leash and a muzzle. This isn’t holiday cheer—it’s survival politics wrapped in a festive bow.
