@jwildeboer Nope but sometimes it's an avenue to leadership... as in; gaslight > attention and clicks received > becoming more visible > being chosen (by those that profit from it / those who can can use you)

Also in another way the uneducated or 'stupid' followers can make a leader almost by default (!)
Therefore it's is the lack of intelligence responsible as well as a person's or group's 'gas' lighting (or stupidity igniting) because it needs people stupidity/emotions rather than logic in crafting their xyz )

Hope I got the context for gaslighting right as it has variations / version of it.... Thanks
