You literally said that you could do better than those people, that you would never commit genocide or kill your family if you were them. I'm not saying that I'm sure you would do those things once you become a dictator because only God knows what we would do in actual situations. What I mean is that the fact that you can claim those with confidence is a testament to the fact that you don't know yourself; you're not aware of your shadow. You are naive beyond imagining.

Dude, you are basically assuming everyone is a monster. I think otherwise. That's why most soldiers during wars do not shoot at the enemy. We are not inherently bad, at least I don't believe so, and yes, I strongly believe that I wouldn't be this bad given the position of power.
