When leaders are Basking in the glory of their own self righteous wisdom, they can be impossible .
.
They are not going to see reason and back down - they want to redouble the push so they can be proven right .......Such fanaticism is normal in those rare moments when leaders feel they are really doing some good , but the sooner they see that any improvement will be down to operatives ) the less damage all the fooling around with more fear ( you must do what we say) will stop
The Victorian and Queensland Premiers of the moment have convinced themselves they are defending the good and right against a torrent of revelation that they don' t.."Someone will die if you don't do what I say"
Most leaders don't really don really know what they doing . But in rare moments when they feel and claim to occupy the highest moral and scientific ground , that self righteousness protects them from seeing what is really going on NOW ,
For various reasons they are not where they think they are ,
They think at one hour they are trusting the best advice and yet on the striking clock they briefly remember they were always more interested always in trying to prove something Too bad if others pay for my games ---- its fun for me ,
The hypocrites can't have it both ways
