Rationality and empathy are equally important. Blind empathy is just as capable of causing harm as a lack of empathy.
The real issue is the relation one has/lacks with capital, not just individuals wealth.
Balkanization typically leads to more violence and worse outcomes. For example, the current situation in eastern Europe is a result of the balkanization of the USSR. WW1 (and 2) were a result of the Balkanization of the Ottoman empire. The balkanization of India.
Where did I say people without rationality should be elected lol.
The individual wealth that can destabilise democracies is a problem. Do you not think so? If your solution fixes that I'm all on board.
More violence in russia? Or more violence than russia trying to occupy europe again? I take the more violence in Russia because it will dtop one day, the uncheckef russian empire ambitions not so much.
