In the theatre of Ancient Greece, the tragic plays were performed at a festival.
Another example is Lwanda Magere, the story of a stong and victorious warrior who dies when the secret of his strength is betrayed to the Kipsigis by the girl who was his wife.
So now, about today's eurocentric and globalized political economy....
Europe, and especially the English, have killed the tragic instinct of society. They have made the rich good and blamed the poor for suffering.
So when the rich and powerful became good, what happened to the weak?
For example, Europe massacred women who were knowledgeable and were local midwives and herbalists by branding them witches.
This theology justified the rich not working and the poor working for them.
Europe erected the white male as the sole human being, and turned everyone else into their scapegoats, including European women and other European minority groups.
Because European nobility crushed the tragic principle, they turned themselves into gods, they sacrifice us. And the planet.
That's the evil governing us. State House is occupied by rich people afraid of the tragic principle. They are corrupt, they kill us, but never go to jail. They blame us for our poverty by calling us indisciplined, un-entrepenerial and criminal.

And the first family knows that what they are doing is evil.
