  • Maybe? If she actually had the people’s trust and took power in a system that was already far from democratic, simply because she’s not a money-worshipping sociopath, I certainly would. It’s better than what most of us have gotten as leaders, at least in the West, in recent memory.

    However, while I do think a good chunk of the world is in grave need of a radical ideological change and that pretty much all of our wounds are collectively self-inflicted (imagine if people actually believed in being righteous before all and were rightly guided? If people had moral shame? Every imperialist massacre would stop tomorrow…), I don’t think we could enforce it, so I truly wonder how necessary it would be for my wife to be a dictator. “Yes, baby, perhaps this area of the world has gone to shit, let’s just go somewhere else instead of fighting the wave of zombies and their masters?” is probably what I would say, lol. Regardless, whatever change that I think could justify taking power even if massively unpopular would be to force a change that, sadly, can only to come from within, voluntarily. If we could just find a way to remind people to remember they and others are human, that would be great.
