Some began as youths that are chosen for specific tasks in life and then when they are done, retire to do lesser things. What could possibly go wrong with this idea?
I have a feeling, leadership people want “this and that”, “front and back” and “top and bottom” at the same time for themselves and others. Political people don’t want negatives, they want positives whatever they look at… meaning… plus, increasing… building wealth and prestige at every turn. Momentum always in the correct direction. Denial all day long? Can we fix it if it’s broken? Why do we have to put up with something failing at all?
Two people stand in a line of… two people. The one in front is clearly stronger, taller, more recognized. The one behind is weaker, may have more information and IQ. The leader walks up and ONLY SPEAKS TO THE ONE IN FRONT.
In a line of two, and there is always the same one in front and same one second. What if the one in front is the only one spoken to, paid money, cared for, recognized and over time doesn’t know why there was a second person or Number Two? Over time the one in front will be fortified and the second one in line will wither and die off waiting to talk, to contribute, to be paid for.
The worry in any group is that the physically strongest could push people around and insist on standing in front every time on everything and eventually not need a group behind them. Why have the group at all?
Just realized I may have seen “white supremacy” in action. White people of any age trained to believe they are better than anyone else no matter what. So much a part of their culture, they forget that it is an offensive posture. Why do I say they “forgot” or “forget”? Because they do it so much and don’t seem to notice when they are being embarrassing. Some say it is a “European attitude” in general. Others thought of it as a “German Nazi thing”. Though the Russians also seemed to have “big attitude” also. I’m not sure why it happens so much, or did in history. Some of the greatest leaders on planet Earth of ancient history were not “bright white” people. And there are even now great leaders not vaguely white at all. Noting not all great leaders are famous to peoples outside of their countries or regions. 5000bc. some of the brightest people were brown from the sun, white of skin and Asian(probably Asian/Indian/Russian), very different than today’s “white Caucasians” who appear to all have a chip on their shoulder. My guess is in modern history of recent 300 years, some of the largest empires and military forces have been predominately “white race” looking, almost mimicking the ancient Romans. It could be said that military people tend to have “an air about them”.
