Individual- I hear what you are saying and generally I agree with your position. However it pains me to see you discussing these issues against those who just flick back socialist/ identity propaganda- when you are actually a person of intellectual integrity that thinks beyond cliche. My suggestion is talk with people with new ideas. Talk with people that are open to new ideas and try to contribute to balance in the public media- difficult when they have drunk the cool-aid- but that just means the mass media will hasten their demise. No one in the media supported Trump but he got elected- just shows the public media is not being recognised as a thought leader- probably because they don't have new ideas.

Individual,

You would reach more posters if you would stop
with the labelling of people. That action is
so yesterday. Most people today are neither
"left" or "right" except for the die-hards of
course. Anyway - try it and see if people's
reaction change towards what you are saying.
At the moment your message is being lost in the
labels.

Without question, the first qualification of any leader must be that they are truly for equality. On a dying planet, we can no longer afford to squander the brain-power of half the population. Science urgently needs thinkers.

Leaders like Trump and Putin, womanisers who have little respect for women and therefore, place less importance on issues that concern half the population, are testosterone-fuelled dinosaurs who are backward-thinking and will not utilise their peoples' full potential. It might seem like women have equal rights in those countries but we women know that they don't. World leaders need to fully support (in action - not just words) the basic human rights of ALL people so they can reach their full potential, or shouldn't be in positions of power. In an ideal world, potential leaders would sit for psychometric testing as most other employees now do, to ensure they won't rule with their egos and genitals rather than with emotional and intellectual intelligence. Humankind has experienced thousands of years of war caused by testosterone. We no longer have time for wars or chest-beating, we need to be smarter than that and utilise every able body of whatever persuasion, to fix the planet.

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used
against unintelligible comments.

To someone less indoctrinated & not wearing rose-coloured glasses the 'unintelligible comments' do come across as concern & suggestions for solutions. Ridicule is the prime tool for those with no logical retort.
How can we ever expect to get real leaders when voters only get to chose candidates of Academic/Lawyer background?
