This is an interesting take that rings true, yet leads me to wonder at the source of the population's need for 'guidance' from either source instead of making their own way (rather, G_d's plan and way for them, though this is my personal belief).

I mean this more rhetorically than not because I believe that, in general, the population of nations like this have been led astray and/or deceived (and actually oppressed, not the SJW variety) for so long that they look for leadership from any source claiming as much. The US population isn't faring any better as evinced by the amount of coercion that the MSM and governmental "authorities" exercise on so many.

What I mean to say is that I believe that the average person of the world has been conditioned to follow and seek leadership rather than being encouraged and taught to have the courage to lead themselves. I'm not claiming that everybody is going to be a capable leader, but I feel that FAR more folks could summon that courage had they not been completely enveloped by a system that works against their/our well-being.

Thanks for your reply, it's some good food for thought!
