This explains why "clown world" keeps getting clownier, despite the constant spotlight the Culture-type has on the Civilization-type. Many people (Trump supporters and even non-supporters) keep bringing up all the hypocrisies of the Democrats/Deepstate, yet still the hypocrisies flow forth. Trump supporters are aware they're on a train being driven off a cliff, they can see in the distance where it will end if the train isn't stopped, but all their shouting and gesticulating has little to no effect; the train isn't stopping. (At this point I should probably say that it doesn't matter whether Trump is part of that Elite Civilization-type or not, the majority of his supporters aren't and it's this sub-group that comprises the Culture-type). His supporters are aware that we are living in clown world, even if no one else is.)

Civilization-type and Culture-type can occupy the same jobs, but they have a vastly different method of behavior. Culture-type does a job from conviction, feelings, inner vision. Civilization-type does a job only with a view to acquiring more power for themselves. They can fake conviction, feeling and inner vision, if they think that will acquire them more power. Otherwise, they won't. Just like Hillary can fake a black-accent and talk about how she carries hotsauce in her purse (she doesn't carry hotsauce in her purse btw, she was lying) just to pander to blacks. She's only pandering because she wants power over them. Most of politics is about that, the acquiring of votes/power, and pandering to get it. Pure conviction, actual ethical platforms (and not its bastard brother, ethical pandering) are rarely seen, Trump is the most recent example (again, assuming he's legit). But even then, previous Republican presidents were just more of the Civilization-type, just wearing red ties instead of blue. We've been in Civilization-territory for decades, possibly even centuries.
