you know i just tried to see it from american perspective.

Yes, I pointed this out in my latest blog video.

Except there is a difference. America and Russian are in different developmental positions. And Trump is a moron who is making America weaker. For Russians, Putin is a pretty decent president. For Americans, Trump is a shitty president. We can do much better.

@Leo Gura Would you say Trump is less developed than the average american?

That's exactly what he'd want you to think! He is very good at saying just whatever gets him power and support from the masses. He will attack you if that triggers a situation in which the collective is for him against you. He'll lionize you if that makes the collective idolize you. He is just purely opportunistic when it comes to power-grabbing and he has no sense of ethics. He lacks strategic thinking and he'll just give an ego reaction if he's attacked. He's saying he's looking out for America's survival cuz that's what gets him the support of conservatives! Doesn't matter what he actually does.

What do you think is happening in terms of all these libertarian ideas becoming quite mainstream in political discourse now, as well as things like brexit here in Britain exhibiting nationalistic beliefs? Are we regressing as humans or is it a kind of ego backlash on a population level? 

Thought this article from gq was interesting, it's about rich Conservative people using their own charity funds in dubious ways that progress their own interests such as spreading misinfo on climate change so their businesses wouldn't be affected. Starts with the trump fund as well https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gq.com/story/philanthropy-political-tool-rich/amp

I think it is all progress. Progress requires solidification of previous stages to create a stronger foundation. That's what's happening. It's like compacting earth before you start building the house.

Covid is the deathblow to libertarianism.

It's quite sad to see America being lead by someone who is several stage bellow what can be found amongst its most evolved population. I'm not sure how common it is, throughout history? Any thoughts? 

I think this is the norm.

Evolved leaders are rare and they often go unappreciated, kicked out, jailed, or killed.

Devils will not follow an angel. Devils want to follow one of their own. This is fundamentally why great selfless leadership is rare. Selfish people cannot handle a selfless leader. To a selfish person a selfless person looks like a devil. Because a devil preceives selflessness as evil. Because a devil sees falsehood as truth and truth as falsehood, good as evil and evil as good.
