Of Enablers, We all
How could a diminutive and viciously passionate sociopath by himself murder over six million humans and throw the world into a genocidal world war? How could an obvious lunatic with all the variegated layers of psychosis imprint upon a nation to the extent that in recent history, his infamy is almost synonymous with the identity of that East African nation? How, one must ask regarding our own political space, could a rustic, despotic and incompetent hypocrite degrade and hold enthralled a nation of over two hundred million people and, succeed in leaving behind a legacy of graft, sleaze and a cult of Nero like fiddlers presiding over our collective slide into contumely? The answer is not just blowing in the wind, it is howling in one word, the word, "enablers". History is marred by and would judge us all to a greater or lesser degree for being enablers of these accidental potentates, by succumbing either to the carrot or the stick.
On the reverse side, is it a wonder that the British up till date are the most emancipated and organized society in human history by virtue of their systematic intolerance of any form of excess in leadership?
