Why Democracy Rewards Idiots — Plato Saw It Coming 2,400 Years Ago
9 months ago by absGeekNZ to c/politics
Quite relevant for this year.
our leaders are even worse. since the early 2000s, we have never had a competent leader. All we have had are "charismatic" leaders for their ignorant supporters. And the current leader is the worst of them all, a former special forces general who also kidnapped activists. He's similar to his father-in-law, a great dictator and corruptor in our history.
and he didn't even care about the deaths of more than 1,000 people due to flooding. The response was slow, he avoided criticism, and he did not even accept foreign aid.
