it’s amazing that the libs don’t see the hypocrisy of this
They totally excuse it as deference to the necessity that the leadership working for the greater good cannot be hampered by the rules they impose on the masses. It’s just one man, after all, and not 300 million people doing it!
Yeah, the Maya thought the same thing, and the few royal individuals constituted the overwhelming majority of all the resource consumption (animals and forest destroyed) so the wealthy elite helped bring down the entire civilization. Yet, in today’s modern times, the elite think about the same as the Mayan royalty did back then.
