    Then who do you suggest should be in power instead? I’m just asking because I would not know. To me personally they will always be a “rando”

      Alright, let me rephrase that.

      Stop putting power-hungry people into positions of power. Put there people who care about others, and don’t want the power. Works for government too.

        Exactly. Same in every club, society and whatnot. The power hungry with strong narcissistic traits (not the mental health diagnosis, mind you) are those who promote their buddies and do everything to stay in power. Its essentially the single biggest problem we have. You can pin mostly all and everything that is wrong with our world on those traits (basically the dark triad), yet they are promoted everywhere. You need to have „elbows“ even in primary school. Just a fool wouldn’t see the outcome of that.

        I agree but yet here we are… And I don’t think just putting people in jail helps. But it should definitely have consequences, that’s for sure, but they must first be effective for what they are trying to solve.

          I am all for rehabilitative care and what not.

          But psycho- and sociopaths should be behind bars. I’m not even sure if they can be helped.
