MODERATORS
Why are many nations so psychopathic? Most individual humans are decent people: You might not be best friends with everyone, don't like your neighbour's taste of music, or that green jacket he always wears, or be jealous because he has a nicer carpet in his apartment. But you still don't kill him.
Nations? Good luck! Do we tend to elect psychopaths as leaders? Do only psychopaths want to be politicians?
Psychopaths are the kind of people, that have both the ambition and the ruthlessness to get into influential positions
There's a quote of a guy whose name I forgot, foreign politician for Germany's social centre party. People have morals, foreign diplomacy doesn't and mustn't. It's always about what the country needs, completely unhinged form any morality.
