Chris Liss on Nostr: I’ve always been suspicious of Bukele — “absolute power corrupts absolutely” ...
I’ve always been suspicious of Bukele — “absolute power corrupts absolutely” and all that — but let’s see this play out. Maybe there’s a good reason for it, and he can’t come out publicly and say it. IMO people tend to *overestimate* the powers that be, underestimate their own power, especially after the last five years.
But I always thought it was naive to trust the self-proclaimed “philosopher king.”
