Great concept, armed lifeboat politics. It applies equally to big business as government imho. In fact maybe there is a trend, it started in politics and has moved now to big business, which seems more male dominated now than government, imho.
Hence "Tech bros".
I've often noticed in industry the leaders often seem to prefer sabotaging better solutions than their own company or department might have come up with, so they might remain captains of what remains, the smaller solution their own department or company might come up with.
Armed Lifeboat politics describes it perfectly.
They would rather be the captain of an armed lifeboat on a dying planet, than maybe a deckhand on a luxury liner on a re-greenified planet returned to Goldilocks climate.
