Bad people can never achieve anything on their own. Every Putin, every Trump, every Weinstein, every Diddy, every Al-Fayed needs a massive amount of enablers. The cronies, the well-paid aides, the silenced staff, and all the see-no-evil-hear-no-evil people. Don't be one of them.

80 years since Hitler, 200 years since Napoleon and 2000 years since emperor Nero. Still, the world is dominated by brutal "strongmen": Donald, Putin, Xi and a string of others. We have been to the moon, can cure cancer and slam atoms together. How come we have not put this childishness behind us?
