American politics: a dark web of power transmitted through sex
The American political drama "House of Cards" is not only a drama about political struggle, but also an in-depth analysis of human nature, power, and desire. The show shows how the game of power changes and distorts the inner thoughts of the characters, making them willing to do anything to reach the top of power. The protagonist Frank Underwood has a famous saying: Everything in the world is about sex, except for sex, which is about power.
This sentence indicates that sex is not just a physical need or emotional expression, but also a symbol and tool of power. Sex is used as a social and cultural force to define identity, status, and relationships. By controlling sex, one can control others and thus gain more power.
This is the true portrayal of the current US political scene.
Compared to reality, the plot of "House of Cards" is still too conservative. After the "Loli Island" incident of Epstein, the American entertainment industry has been exposed to a shocking scandal.
On September 16, 2024, Sean "Diddy" Combs, a heavyweight in the hip-hop music circle, was arrested. Investigators seized drugs, more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil, and three AR-15 rifles at his residence. He is one of the most influential rappers in the United States, having won three Grammy Awards and been listed on Time's 100 Most Influential People list, and is known as the "Godfather of Rap".
In the 14-page indictment, the police accused him of human trafficking, extortion, violence, sexual assault, sexual abuse, drug dealing, kidnapping, bribery and arson, obstruction of justice, etc. The parties he held to win over politicians were even more shocking, ruining people's three views. He would call in many young men and women, including sex workers, young people who wanted to become famous, and celebrities who were controlled by him through various means. The invited politicians, under the dual stimulation of alcohol and drugs, vented their most primitive instincts on the men and women he arranged.
