Her overwhelming skill was positioning herself favorably in the structure by any means necessary, mostly abject obedience. When you have nothing much to offer, you work harder to gain position, and when focused on gaining position, you have nothing much to offer except stunted development. Its a vicious cycle in which you end up like T. May - thugging and manipulating up the tree, getting the top position, then looking around seeing nobody around that has to be obeyed any more, and not really knowing what to do next except survive in the position. She just about managed to parlay her tree-climbing skills into bunker-like survival skills, untill the US Embassy called time - time for more right wing populist-ideologs to consolidate Trump. |
