Actual conversation between some HR guys here:

"We need more deadwood."
"Yeah?"
"We keep hiring these little geniuses and then they refuse to go and get their heads blown off in Tripoli. We need a pool of idiots."

Actually, we already have a pool of idiots. Loads of guys are on gardening leave for corruption and incompetence, but because they have the same status as the little geniuses they too feel that they're too good for Tripoli.

Fair enough. And, believe it or not, I've been thinking about how to approach the issue but the problem is that my personality doesn't tend to attract followers...

Which image I've disputed. Youre. just basically jealous of workers who have organised and have maintained their conditions when you couldn;t, and instead of trying to learn from them you're meanly trying to drag them down to your level of failure.
Alternatively, I am trying to tell them to fight the aristocrats instead of putting their weight on top of his on my shoulders...

Not really true either. The main dfifference is that you don't acknowledge that capitalism is a class system which exists to exploit the majority fio the population.
Same difference.

And who is going to be the first to go over the top? If you're not willing to be the man at the tip of the wedge, then you don't have any right to demand that other people do it for you.
So, even I see no generals giving the rousing speeches I expect, I am supposed to volunteer for suicide squads in the hope that we'll settle it all once the fortress' walls have been stormed?

First, let's agree on what we ought to do once the walls have been breached. Then I'll risk my skin to go and try to take those walls.
