In games the line between fair and unfair play is well defined so its easy to spot cheaters. In politics the line is fuzzier which makes it harder to spot cheaters, easier to cheat, and easier for the psychopath to defend himself by pleading ignorance and self-defense saying, I dont think I crossed the line and anyway I think my opponent crossed it so, if I got close to the line it was merely in self defense. Its not just that a few of us might go sociopathically bovine and follow a psychopath masquerading as a moral leader. All of us might. To this I would add the reverse. Its not just that a few psychopathic leaders masquerade as moral leaders by hypocritically accusing their opponents of their own crimes. All of them do. How then should we live?
