Koba: The United States, Britain and Brazil, which are out of control, are ruled by right -wing nationalists who are good at manipulating public opinion.Why can't such leaders control the epidemic?
Once under the Margaret Thatcher, the Ferdinand Mount of the Ferdinand Mount of the Tangning Street policy department was in charge of the Tangning Street policy department.), Trump and Johnson: Even if you control such tasks such as acne explosion, you will not give these people to be responsible.
This is a thriller story.The United States, Britain, and Brazil are not the first countries to be impacted by new COVID-19 (COVID-19, the 2019 coronary virus disease), so they originally had time to prepare.It is true that the health of ordinary Americans is not high in the eyes of the Republican Party, but the US expenditure in public medical care is still as many as other developed countries.Coupled with private medical care, it costs more than any society in history.However, when Europe and China have passed the peak of the epidemic, the number of new crown cases in the United States and Brazil is still rising rapidly, and Britain is one of the highest mortality in Europe.Inside the United States, those preparations of Mdash; MDASH; MDASH; Mdash; Mdash; Mdash; MDash; now the epidemic is full of outbreaks.The governor of these states, like Donald Bull; Donald Trump, originally claimed that he would put the economy on epidemic prevention.As a result, they lost both.Few people will risk the risk of hazardous diseases to get haircuts.
These places are ruled by right -wing nationalists who are good at building a good image on the media, and they do not trust the point of view of senior experts.The same is true of India, Russia, and Belarus, which have been severely damaged by the epidemic.Traditional social democratic countries may not respond to the new crown epidemic (Sweden is an example), but this situation is rare.Why can't this new type of leaders control the epidemic?
The first is the attention economy.In the era of social media, people have received news through various pipelines all the time. The most watched politicians are those who have created a different and so -called realistic image for themselves.This system rewarded the narcissist and the philosopher Harry Bull; Harry Frankfurt said nonsense: The difference between them and the liar is that they do not care about what is true and what is false.What a pleasant they say.Their strong language tissue ability reduces their needs for analytical ability.
Once elected, the leader will immediately experience the feeling of arrogance and boredom.For the past leaders, this feeling was MDash; MDASH; Tony Blair; Tony Blair, which appeared about five years in power, decided to invade Iraq and David;Brexit (Brexit) holding the referendum of the whole people is about five years in power.But past politicians believe that their work is governance, and these new ones are good at communication.For them, elections are the highlights; governance is boring.
Successfully breed over confidence.You won the biggest award in the country, making those who predicted that you must not have played.How difficult is governance?You know that his predecessors are all idiots.So you avoid expert briefings, dissolve the epidemic disease department, or celebrate your victory with continuous holidays.
When your scientific consultant mentions a kind of boring disease in Wuhan, you are not taking it seriously.When this disease spreads to Italy and New York, your nationalism or Red State (supports the Republican state mdash; mdash; translator's note) tells you that it will not happen here.The Governor of Arizona Douge; Doug Ducey does not allow the mayor to introduce the prescription to require the public to wear a mask.
You are very confident because you know nothing about the complexity of governance.Psychologists call it Dunning-Kruger effect: incompetent people will not realize their incompetence.You are convinced that the virus will not attack your citizen, and you will definitely not attack you.Bosonaro, Trump, and Johnson (until he was sick) showed that they thought they were immune by shaking hands in public, and their followers had the same learning.
Johnson's consultant Dominic Cummings showed his own exception: He unexpectedly victory in the British retirement referendum proved that he was smarter than anyone.This has made him qualified to ignore the suggestions of scientists and driving through more than half of the country during the blockade.
When the epidemic spreads to your country, your communication instinct will automatically start.Your scientific consultant wants to implement long -term blockade to give boring, repeated and frustrating briefings.You need a better script.Therefore, you will be postponed for a few weeks, missing the golden windows of preventing and controlling, and constantly claiming to defeat the virus. By proposed injection bleach and early unseculid eyeball (Trump is like this).
Even if the reality mdash; mdash; a overestimated thing mdash; MDASH; it will not matter if you will quickly break your victory declaration.Your time frame is now.In the economy economy, as you have learned from the election, even a news cycle is politically politically.The important thing is to score MDASH at this moment; MDASH; the matter tonight is left to worry tonight.
The victory of your election shows you that many voters will believe in anything.In fact, a large number of people will resonate with ignorance rather than learning.Trump and Johnson use the insights of behavioral economists, that is, humans are not the pursuit of self -interest.In a split government, most of your supporters will accept incompetence (even if this will let the elderly kill his life) instead of changing the camp.
No matter what you do, most of your cabinet members will support it.You choose them because of loyalty, not because they have the ability to purchase personal protection equipment.You have also got rid of the fashion diversity: Trump and Bosonaro are full of white men (the best relatives), and most people in Johnson's relatives are graduated from private schools and Oxford (Oxford).male.Group myths (grouphink) is the goal.If it makes it more difficult to correct the mistakes of leaders, there is no way.In order to prevent British civil servants from other plans, Kuminus is now regaining control.
The new crown virus may end the scenery of ignorant and nonsense nationalists.However, they have previously proven that they can defeat reality.
