Bad behavior is almost always good politics (2021)
Yet another piece that chooses the KPI by ignoring the existence of the individual. It’s essentially human resources management theory where units of human are fungible.All this machiavellian stuff is definitely  effective for people in power.I hoped that people would notice that in the Game of Thrones all that clever politics and noble fights were irrelevant to the people who don’t have aspirations of governing other people. If you are aspiring to uncover the secrets of the universe, if you have talent for music or maybe you just want a simple life - that is still irrelevant unless you can structure your output to feed into the power of a person who holds a title. Why? Because in the eyes of these sociopaths you are a unit of HR management and nothing more.Unfortunately, an awful lot of people are fascinated with the throne games and are willing to give their lives for it.For example, according to these people Putin is right because EU and NATO were expanding and Putin had to invade. Actual human beings dreaming to join a society with low corruption and big prospects(In contrast to Russian sphere of influence) is irrelevant for them, they will tell you that Ukrainians should have remained a buffer. Go you live your life as buffer.
