🔎 How politicians like Liz Truss handle extreme humiliation - and try to seek redemption
Neville Chamberlain’s declaration that peace with the Nazis had been secured goes down as one of the greatest acts of foolishness and moral cowardice in modern history, yet many historians have offered up more nuanced views of the leader since his humiliation, arguing that he was strategically trying to play for more time.
“For example, when Madonna famously exposed the bare breast of a 17-year-old fan on stage at a concert in Australia in 2016, the fan played down the affront to her modesty, stating ‘it was no big deal’ and ‘only I get to decide if I’m humiliated or not’. Whether appropriate or not, people who have a strong self-esteem might answer like this.”
