We get the politicians that we deserve. There are no “great” leaders anywhere in the West. Get used to the idea that the West is well and truly on the way out; and it is entirely our own fault. One word covers the decay: multiculturalism.

Who the hell wants a leader?
One to lead us into what?
Into temptation?

So what if the present predators are squishy and corrupt - do we want tougher ones to break our bones?

So why does the author want it?

1. «to maintain and expand group "identity,"»

Phew, so even the author understands well that this "identity" business is false - why maintain and expand some false notion, a lie? then what "group" is he speaking of? millions of other people we could not even get to know in a lifetime, not even superficially, even if we wanted...

2. «promote order,»

Someone to arrange us in rows and columns, then march us up and down?

3. «protect safety,»

A false sense of safety.
Fear is speaking, with guilt behind it.

4. «and ensure generational growth and prosperity.»

Growth into what?
Is there anything lacking in the ability of our human intellect to discern?
And what kind of prosperity? Building even more material attachments and dependency?

«Animal leaders lead because their instinctual need for collective survival naturally guides them as a life force and principle.»

And these human pests, strangely referred to as "leaders", do so out of lust, anger, greed, delusion, pride and envy.

Why is the author even desirous of collective survival?
And who is he anyway to decide whether humanity as we know it deserves to survive or otherwise?

«Then, we may wonder if there is any point in electing them to influential governmental positions.»

In Australia the point is simple - in order to avoid a fine!

«If we push this argument to its limit, we may even further wonder if there is any point in having elections to perpetuate our illusions that political leadership takes care of us as the people as the ultimate source and objective of this very power.»

What illusions?
That is kindergarten-level propaganda, is there any adult believing such stuff?

The point of playing with elections is for the predators, to glorify themselves - even Putin plays that game, it was never intended for our benefit, ordinary people.

Australian leaders lead themselves alone into multi million dollar cliff-side mansions as a reward for services rendered…( To themselves)!

With much reduced chances of homes and families, young Australians should be rioting in the streets, over Copacabana Albanese.

But they've all been brainwashed in school, to agitate for UN Open Borders and Net Zero. Exhibit A: Housing hypocrite Max Chandler-Mather.

There are many good leaders but the non thinking masses don't vote for them.

Lack of followers is obvious !

There are no leaders in the West.
They are all part of a collective of global branch managers.
