The problem is humans are always attracted towards power…even if you have multiple groups keeping each other in check, all it takes is one human to unify the groups and before you know it the groups flock together and we end up with another selfish and corrupt government. Ugh

The alternative is finding some incorruptible people to lead but I feel like people who are best fit to lead the government usually don’t want anything to do with it. Like those farmers that only at war time pick up their weapons and lead their country to victory then go back to being a farmer. I forget who it was but there is a specific person in history who did just that and ngl that’s kinda badass.
