As a culture, we have fought a long and hard war against personal responsibility. Because everyone KNOWS the right thing(s) to do. They’re just hard. How much easier it is to elect a clown-buffoon-strong man to make all the decisions and take all the responsibility so no one else has any guilt, shame, or sense of sublime ridiculousness. Throughout the history of humanity, we have sought rulers, kings, and tyrants for this very reason. A despot is the ultimate scapegoat. We don’t even have to say we were just following orders. We will always just be children of our gods, never need to be grown-ups.
