      The people running most large things, like reddit or countries, are idiots because people with half a brain are smart enough to see that that’s not a position you want to put yourself in. Anyone who can see the enormity of the responsibility nope out a lot sooner than reaching that level of governance, and the idiots who can’t see filter through.

        The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
        To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
        To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

      I have to imagine there are more than a couple reddit staff who are supremely annoyed/pissed about this whole mess. They probably work at reddit because they love it and now they have to oversee it being turned to shit.
