Thank you for the response! It IS fascinating that there are figureheads credited with capitalizing off humans’ suicidal tendencies lol
People are bizarre right?
I don’t believe in true dictatorships, my observation is that there are always multiple individuals behind a disguise as one.
History consolidates in order to make sense. There was probably some unknown factor which mattered more than an individual’s whims which drove people. I like the Greeks- they spoke of mysterious things at play as opposed to an ego’s “strategic” desires- like Helen of Troy’s face or because someone didn’t sacrifice their daughter or whatever. Makes no sense, but probably holds a lot of truth tbh because when does war ever make sense?
