Either most of the world's leaders are stupid or they are under somebody's thumb.

Anyone with whom you disagree is stupid.
Sometimes, but it ain't necessarily so.
@lawrenceblair Certainly. When some one is honest and confident enough to look not only at the polished furniture but lift up the rug to see what was swept under it, even for his own party. All politics, left or right, tend to display only the pretty stuff and cover up the ugly.
I wish a couple of dozen countries had implemented the phone book method of choosing leadership a few decades ago so we could have a "control group" on the idea that the elitist social networks are getting dumber.
I would be more worried about the spiteful mutant problem.
Half the World has an IQ under 100 by definition. And a small percentage of moderately intelligent people are motivated by power. The power seekers find opportunity in Marxism, and the less intelligent are just ignorant of history enough to be seduced by the idea that government can make humans fair. the power seekers have risen to the top, and without Constitutions to make them accountable, have free reign to peddle Marxism in any form the people will swallow. COVID is a gift to Marxists everywhere.
