    It’s because the leaders aren’t the ones fighting the battles or being targeted. They’re playing chess somewhere far from the violence.

      We should just solve conflicts by throwing the presidents or monarchs of the opposing countries in an arena to fight to death.

        I think it’d be better if we disregarded highly authoritarian leaders in general and embraced socialism. Back in the day, kings and emperors fought their battles, but it didn’t make their feudalism any less… feudal.

          Unfortunately humans are greedy so that won’t ever happen.

        That would be interesting. We’d definitely have to shift who we elect towards more violent leaders tho, and idk how I feel about that haha.
