    I mean, if you want a great example, Genghis Khan killed his half brother at 8 years old in order to “secure his family position” then went on to lose a bunch of battles, then win a bunch of wars and murder his way to the top of an empire.

    If you don’t think that’s an example of strongest = leader, I don’t know what to tell you.

    Modern cartel leaders are very similar in most cases, they’ve schemed, battled, and murdered their way to the top.
