First. Yes. It would be horrible to live through something like the cultural revolution or be starved to death because a national leader was unwise. But then again, it’s brutal to die from cancer or to be homeless and drug addicted. Depends on the frame. Personal, local, national, world. Notice that the examples you gave are all national.
