When I say strong, I don’t mean reactionary or tough or macho or even smart either oddly enough. I mean are most if not any of the people either elected or seizing power today are actually physically and mentally prepared to deal with the psychological stress and physical endangerment that comes with the responsibilities of being a head of state or high ranking official in any society? Personally, I don’t think so. And even if there were, there clearly aren’t many. Like, does anyone remember Lenin dying of brain death just from trying to run the USSR in its early days? If even the best couldn’t handle something like that, imagine how little of a chance all the other openly kleptocratic, weak, cowardly, and infantile people currently driving their societies towards civil instability and social unrest fare in leadership.
Like fuck man. Most heads of state don’t even have an official office or location they work at or really any supplies to get started even if they did give a shit about doing their jobs. They live in overglorified mansions doing largely nothing and delegating any actual work over to technocrats before either endulging themselves on populist rhetoric or mindlessly obeying whatever their advisors or transient allies tell them to do. Being charismatic or playing dress up with other politicians isn’t enough to do the job, no where near it.
