Feel free to name three large human-caused disasters of the last 100 years that weren't driven by "those with demonstrated merit".

I write that because the vast majority of large disasters of the last 100 years were driven by such people.

Since you mentioned it, fascism was actually a creation of intellectuals and was driven by them. They eventually lost control to thugs but didn't object until that happened. (In some cases, they didn't even object then.)

Nte that any discussion involving progressives turns to camps for non-believers within a very short period of time.
