The authors whom I quoted spread the butter a bit thick. I do apologize if I was not a little better nuanced myself; kind of learning as the narrative unfolded so to speak. Again, sorry for taking some contextual liberties and I hope to come back to the subject at a later date. Best Simon, Thanks for reading and you are most likely correct.

Unfortunately it was not up to them. The point is also that the greatest artists usually understand things far more deeply than average politicians. But the numbers of truly great artists like Picasso and Jünger are in inverse proportion to the numbers of average politicians, so not much hope there!
