This is what happens when you lose your culture in pursuit of some fantasy reality where being an African American woman brings some sort of enlightenment that European men just cant understand.

Well boom, the disaster that comes from the decisions to allow people to rule based on what they look like, who is the most compassionate, most willing to sacrifice creed for compromise, or who has been at the institution long enough. Rather than the ambitious, bold, most capable, most daring.

Western nations were successful in the past because they realized that doing what was right and better for both parties was the correct action to take. Sure no one should argue in all instances they were the correct moral decisions, but who will argue that the expansion of the United States was detrimental to the development for civilization. Who can argue that the development of militaries and organized warfare is worse than the barbarism of mob rule? Or that capitalism created more wealth and brought more people out of poverty than any economic system actually tried in the real world? I sympathize with everyone who gets frustrated with the problems of civilization but I do not think you have thought through the emptiness and void that is barbarism.

Sure you may not want someone like Trump to be the guy who runs the city. But if you allow him to put him same on your water system than at least you know you wont get lead in your pipes. If you do, you know who to blame. Thats what the ancients realized and most of successful western civilizations after them. You cant change the way people behave, you have to set up the system to make the kinds of people the ones who do well in it. You want ambitious people in government and you want them to seek glory and power for the people. We in the hope that we are somehow different than all the people of history, have set up a system where no one is ever good enough. No one is ever "the right guy", almost everyone agrees most elected people are of poor character and do a poor service. We shame the ambitious and proud and reward the deceitful and idle.
