🤔What if the greatest president in US history is a woman that will get elected in the 2040s?
And she reverses climate change, ends world hunger, and leads the multinational effort that saves us from The Comet(tm)?
But she never exists?
Because she dropped out of politics?
Because of harassment?
@cwicseolfor @mekkaokereke I think we need to not conflate the US with "the world" here. Women can and do lead throughout the world.
As to whether passing suffering on to future generations of the world: would a woman president actually change that? Or would it simply restore the US' self-image of benevolent leadership?
Female president or not, it's time to stop dictating to the rest of the world. Learn to follow the women leaders who are already here.

Same vibes as this Steven Jay Gould quote:
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

There’s a lot of similarities in how he and Musk were perceived and promoted by the incestuous wealthy class. It seems they will run from a homeless person but welcome and celebrate fraudsters, perverts and pedophiles if they believe they can make them money.
@virtuous_sloth @mekkaokereke A few years ago, the various tech billionaires were on a tour of media with their TESCREAL ideology, saying that if human kind can churn out today's number of "genius" people with a population of billions... imagine what we could achieve with a population of trillions?
Of course, they never considered the possibility of the *current* population having opportunity to be a genius, instead of pervasive oppression.
(Sorry, moved this post to reply to Bruce instead)
Superhumans don't exist.
And it's the regular humans, trying to organize to achieve some of this, who get harassed.
While most others are just bystanders, watching it happen, longing for a Superhuman™ to "finally do something".
It's hard to believe that the first woman to run for president in the US was all the way back in the 1872. Who knows how many women were bullied out of politics since then.
