I doubt if you were to ask the average individual in early 1940s about what they think about WW2 or Hitler, they'd reply the same way as someone today does.

Their reply would most likely be that they don't care about politics and just want to be left alone.

The thing with history is that things were never really as crucial(for post-industrial revolution atleast) as they teach us they were.

If you ask some Iranian guy about what they think about US, their reply would mostly be negative and define how Americans "Oppress Women", far to the surprise of Americans who think otherwise.

By all this I totally AM NOT in support of Middle East/Germany or even the US frankly speaking.

My point is to demonstrate what politics truly entails.

Just notice how the worst people in history had to be politicians and not criminals who have far worse actions than that of the former.

It's a depressing reality that not a single political group desires the objective good for humanity, or even promote logic for that matter.

Humans are naturally selfish, and politicians are the most narcissistic, manipulative, and selfish people out there. I think it’s less of being a politician makes you a bad person, and more of you have to be a bad person to become a politician. I posit a question for you, reader. If you were a politician, would you let the power corrupt you? Of course, you probably think you wouldn’t let it, but do you really believe that?

I'm not sure, frankly speaking. I've never really viewed myself as being on the top. If I had to really answer that question, then I'd say yes, I would probably be corrupt since I was never really a good person in my life.

But one thing I doubt is whether or not I'd align with any ideology like the vast majority of politicians do, or engage in PR to deceive my people(unless both of them are a necessity). I've always wanted the best for humanity on a larger scale.

That only makes it worse, you need to uphold certain principles in order to be a good person, let alone a politician without deserving to be hung right there on the spot.

Would've given 100 until you said that criminals are worse than politicians; no, all politicians are criminals.
Honestly, it's true most politicians aren't really good people.

Yet honestly the deaths they cause are mostly because they have a lot of influence of people's lives.

Compare that to serial killers who commit first degree homicide with their own hands. Got it?
