fuck that. there is no objective way to decide on a leader so the only way one can decide on a leader is to say that one persons bullshit is more important than anyone else's which sucks and isn't best for the most people. the only reason you think leaders are a good idea is bc in this case you agreed with his decision and maybe also bc you yourself feel smarter than the plebs below you. there are certainly flavors of democracy that don't work but that doesn't mean we should give up on that but rather that we should try and implement one that does.
