I’ve read it. I’m not sure I’d call it boring, as I was making parallels to what actually happened after it was written the entire time, but it’s definitely monotonous.
The author was a better artist than writer, and you might remember how that career turned out for him.

People didn't like his art or writing enough to make a stable career out of those things, but they were more than happy to vote for him and then follow him into a disastrous, brutal war and also build extermination camps for murdering millions. I think there's a lesson here about what kind of people go into politics, and how bad people are at choosing their leaders.
- throwawaywu 4y agoI a bit of a nutter and ran for a local election because nobody sane would run against this truly crazy lady. Seriously, if your remotely a decent person of any political stripe please consider running for a election. Especially if you don't want to. You'll do a lot of good.
- red-iron-pine 4y agoI choose my leaders based on those who volunteer. To quote Bill Clinton "the best candidate never runs". If the choice is a demagogue or an idiot, which do you choose? And if you're not happy with these choices, why aren't you running?

If I see two ballerinas competing, and I'm not happy with either of them, me becoming a ballerina myself isn't actually a viable alternative. The idea that anyone could be a good leader is incredibly ridiculous and myopic.
