The REAL cause of wars are all the common people determined to take the lead in causing wars… if people didn’t follow dictators in the first place, even when they have literally no choice, because they live in a dictatorship and can’t leave (or, you know, don’t want to leave their homes and families and friends, etc), then there would be no wars…

When I was a grad assistant, I also led a concurrent university retention class for a freshman political science course. My supervisor—who was a learning specialist— stopped by to observe the day we were discussing the professor’s lecture about the role of the media and Watergate.
