The semi-official results for the Egyptian presidential elections are out now, and one of the old regime remnants is rising for the final round, someone from the supposedly-thrown regime is coming back for another era of corruption, injustice and inhumanity.

Assume it is an anthropological experiment, for 30 years the looting continued, till at some point the revolution tipped, unexpected and unprepared for, stirring different reactions but attracting more believers. What happened then?

The revolution had ended with a notable number of deaths and injuries, most of them are people who lost their sight or became paraplegic. Those people live among us right now and they know they lost their lives as they knew it for nothing and no one.

The lesson here about human nature is its love for slavery and idol worship, the reasons to why people choose to follow someone are unknown to me. Maybe it is because you go through your life among people belittling you and bit by bit you become convinced that you are a nobody and you warm to the idea of sticking to someone of perceptible higher rank than yours, hoping that some of his importance will diffuse and reach you. The approval you get from better people are the reason why you approve of yourself, even if their approval was symbolized only by “letting you” be a part of their halo.

Another lesson is how much people seem to value safety over freedom and physical possessions over spiritual meaning. How short-sighted people are, they don’t want to endure the possibility of someone breaking into their houses or their cars but they don’t mind being robbed of their rights by an unjust system. People look for the sugar coating, they want to be fooled as badly as the people fooling them want to. They are ready to be used, consumed and oppressed as long as some materialistic remains will be tossed at them to make up for their complete loss of self-worth.

Now what I believe is going to happen to this country isn’t difficult to predict, actually nothing will happen. We have succeeded to maintain the shittiest status quo. The fancy elite will continue to live the oblivious life, the middle-class will continue to hold onto their mediocre belongings and their average life, celebrating a false sense of security and a mild taste of life, while the gap widens more to throw the Poor into unexplored areas of deprivation.

The powerful and corrupt will remain ruling, let that be Rotarians or people with over-sized beards.Expect no significant changes whatsoever. Yes I am talking to you, Islamophopics.

The next president won’t fight poverty and ignorance, because poverty and ignorance got him where he is now.
