I will be ordering "The Authoritarians" soon. My Kindle reader needs a recharge first. I need to get back some serious reading again.

I seem to be out-of-the-box again. I've encountered thinkers who believe that when "we improve ourselves" first, we then effect the society around us in a positive way. And there is some truth to this. My take is that our political leadership is shaping the masses more than the masses are shaping the leadership.

For example, if 100 of us embark on a life journey of self-improvement, and a political leader encourages 1000 people not to take that same path, who wins the battle?

I believe that the TDG elections, which still allow the RWAs to vote, will diffuse RWA thinking that it no longer becomes a unified political movement. In other words, the SDOs do not have a gullible movement to vault them into power (assuming I am using the acronyms correctly).

In other words, the TDG will find the "liberal and egalitarian" leadership, even if this thinking is not the majority thinking. But with this leadership in place, they can affect the psyche of the RWAs. Some of them will reduce their RWA thinking, maybe even abandoning it later. In essence, RWA is no longer a serious political movement.

If there is another way to reduce RWA and SDO thinking, I would like to hear about it.
