Politics is beyond the shadow of a doubt, beyond humanity's most dangerous, and defeated aspect. There is nothing, and I mean nothing. In the wrong hands, you're doomed smoothly

Clausewitz says that war is the continuance of politics by other means.

So you can easily note that politics is ever linked to war and violence. In ancient times, politics was enforced by robber barons and corrupt priests. Even in many democratic countries today, politics is hard fought, literally physically, because it is a struggle to take control of the national treasury, for personal gain.

Politics is a deadly game because it affects lives of millions of people. In every aspect, there is politics, as long as governance exists. If you think of it that way, you would realize how powerful a government is. It manipulates and maintains everything in a state. From regulating the laws and the economy to providing rules and regulations in a residential homes. Another reason why it is a deadly game is because, it can cause war and violence from retaliation and revolution.

[renaroa]

Power makes people greedy.

[MatysTapsilog]

Because there are so many threats

Politics is deadly when politicians don't want to give up their position. It becomes clear what makes politics a deadly game because of corrupt and greedy individual that's willing to do everything or even kill their opponent just to stay in power.

Politics is a process by which a group comprising some people decides. Although politics is generally meant to refer to the politics of the civilian government, politics is practiced in many other social organizations, such as business establishments, educational institutions, religious institutions where there is a mutual relationship between people. And for these reasons people do politics. In the era, people had an interest in politics. If there is a state, then politics will have to stay. But now a new politics has started to politicize people. So that ordinary people can stay away from politics, but politics will not stay away from you.

Because people mislead others to gain political powers. People go to the verge of offering human sacrifices to win power. People are brutalized and others murdered to achieve political power.

[najinekja]

Because they literally kill people. When they have power, everything is their toy, even lives.

Why is Politics a deadly game?

Because of private property. What is the most private or properties that you have? Your mind and body. There are others.

Politics seeks to secure private property for each person by destroying a little of it. When you hand over control of yourself to government even a little, how do you know that you haven't unwittingly thrown away your whole self to them?

The USA government seeks to get around this by incorporating two principles:
1. A central government with satellite governments (the States) that control everything in public;
2. A private and local government that supersedes the central government (the jury), and handles things locally.

The trick that is happening in the USA is that government - rather, some bad shmuks in government, using government - is trying to train the jury people that they have to judge according to laws that the government makes. The fact is, the jury can judge completely according to any way that they want (jury nullification).

Consider the case where the Bundy's and others took over Federal buildings in Oregon under threat of force. They finally gave in to Federal authorities under threat of greater Federal force. They went to trial in Oregon (locally, as the law says). And the jury ultimately set them all free. Why did the jury set them free? Because the jurists of Oregon know that the Bundy's point in what they did was making a point against the Federal Government.

Google "Bundy Oregon." See https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/28/us/bundy-brothers-acquitted-in-takeover-of-oregon-wildlife-refuge.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundy_standoff and http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/01/27/1-killed-1-injured-during-arrest-ammon-bundy-leader-oregon-standoff.html and http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/10/oregon_standoff_verdicts_annou.html and others.

Jury nullification rules, at least locally.

[KennethDarnell]

Politics is a dangerous game as any wrong move, word, look can become deadly. Each of the politicians has its own game.

[sakamaku]

You do not like it, you can ignore it

[Primas_Jo]

I know I'm taking it very literally, take a look at the recent Mexican presidential election. Over 130 candidates and politicians were killed in that race...

[eka wati 00]

I think the political game is not a deadly game, because politics is just a tactic or our way to achieve something. What makes politics fun or deadly is the one who does it.

[daniel087]

Graduating as political does not you must be a politician. Though, the game is a deadly one especially in developing countries.

Because she does not like justice.

[Hotrod_88]

Clearly, politics is created for the betterment of the society, yet selfishness rises from every corner of the government.

Yep, selfishness has made the downfall of humanity and nothing can prevent it because that is our nature.

I would rethink of greed as human nature, because we are also giving and social beings. It's just that, politics has too much money and power in it that most people found it difficult to control so they get controlled by it instead. It is sad to think about it but that is what happening in our society right now. What we need is balance and self-control for the good of many. And well, if it is money that plays the role, I have read about Bitrus and upcoming exchange that can help us with this financial issue. This is what politics is supposed to be doing - thinking and creating of ways to help its people.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think politics is a deadly game because you simply make many enemies, sometimes you have good intentions but that does not work if those who dominate are against you, or do not agree with your ideals. Many times the policy divides families, other couples, it is impressive but all that can be achieved, it does not make any sense, but it usually happens.

[paddyfield]

Because of your political superiority, you can control the wealth and life of others.If you lose the political game, you leave your life to others.
