Is it wrong to decry the decline of world leadership quality?

[TitoFan]

well the word wrong really is a subjective call and you are talking about morals and people's standards which vary according to the individual. So there's nothing wrong per se with decrying etc

and remember it's not just world leadership it is humanity in general that is declining and because the world leaders are chosen from the pool of humanity they will be reflecting that same phenomenon

also these days with technology everywhere and information coming at us from all sides 24/7 it is more understandable that people are on a hair trigger with fighting back and retaliating because if something goes viral these days even if it's wrong or fake it can completely destroy you so people are more on a hair trigger and people are much more overly defensive because the stakes are a lot higher

If there's anything wrong about it I can't think of it to answer your question

This is something nobody would outwardly agree to... but worth some consideration. The information overload problem coupled with the social media explosion... yeah... it should probably be thrown into the equation also.

Feels somehow dirty to think that "humanity in general is declining", as you say. But the truth is that people with an ironclad word and honor seem more rare nowadays than the dodo.

I still balk at the idea that we have to SETTLE (caps on purpose) for whatever we drag from the bottom of the barrel, but what the hell...........

Think back on the classical days of classical oratory. The Roman senators the Greek sophists think back on the Renaissance the people of letters the great men and women of scholarliness. We definitely do not have any more of that that is for sure

We don't need to go back that far though, bro.

I'd settle for someone with diction, vocabulary and speaking skills a tad higher than the town drunk.

@TitoFan Trump couldn't carry their jockstraps.... But then again, neither could Obama or PELOSI or Bush, none of whom could do a 2-hour impromptu speech without a cunt teleprompter.

Second correct thing you've said on this thread. You're on a roll bro.

Only thing I'd add is there is a conga line of past POTUSes whose jocks Trump wouldn't be able to carry.

The man is a clown with limited speaking skills, and the personality of a chubby, 5th grade bully.

Fuck Trump.
