    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

      Absolutely, but at least in many countries people understand that – here people love to pretend that there is no corruption here at all and that we’re good, honest folk all of us.
