    Finland is surprisingly corrupt (it’s just not the sort of corruption where you bribe cops) and Finns are generally stupid and gullible enough to think we’re not corrupt

      Don’t worry, any positions that offer some degree of power (such as those in government) all seem to attract the same kind of asshole people. Doesn’t matter where in the world it is, they are all mostly corrupt.

        Didn’t Plato say something about the people who want power being the ones you shouldn’t let have power?

          I think Plato said philosophers like him should have power. Philosopher-Kings.

          More of a Lenin vibe
