Their skillset is gaining and retaining power, which is why once they have it all, the entire nation turns into a system to protect their power, ala Putin and North Korea. They do not have a skillset of leadership.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

MODERATORS
Usually not even very good at it. They just have every advantage handed to them.
They're there because of mass propaganda and poor education.
Thats like their job, getting power.
They seeks power entirely for its own sake. They are not interested in the good of others, (maybe in that of their closest ones, but I doubt that) they are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness, only power, pure power, for tge sake of having it.
If you wish to imagine, just as a thought experiment, their perfect world. Imagine a boot stomping on a human face, forever.
Tap for spoiler
I totally did not steal this from orwel
And the part that screws humanity is that people willingly follow and support people who only care about power.
We've had the option to not do that for the entire time humans have existed, but history keeps repeating itself.
Scruples, and the competitive advantage of having none of them.
People keep failing up
They are not meaningfully people.
