Head-in-the-Sand Management	comment	A new Big Bad is on the march. Time for the forces of good to stand up and fight. Unfortunately for the heroes, the man in charge of their particular political organization has Head-in-the-Sand Management and sees no reason to do this. Perhaps he literally doesn't see the threat. Perhaps he doesn't think that the threat is a problem for their specific country. Perhaps he thinks the villain can be talked into leaving them alone or bought off in some way. Perhaps he's somehow connected to the threat and is deliberately looking the other way. Perhaps he's just a few birds short of a flock. In any event, he's going to do his best to get in the way of doing anything productive to fight the villain. Head-in-the-Sand Management is usually not portrayed as himself a bad guy, just willfully blind to the problem. At any rate, the reaction is Just Ignore It. May also be an Obstructive Bureaucrat. Frequently used by the villain for their Evil Plan, in which case, expect a Heel Realization when they recognize the threat and their role in it. May cause Pacifism Backfire. Compare with The Quisling, a leader who is literally in the employ of the villain. Opposite number to the Reasonable Authority Figure. See also Divided We Fall and What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Compare No Object Permanence, for when someone believes anything they can't see doesn't exist. It is however possible for these characters to receive a Wake-Up Call and act accordingly before it's too late. See Ostrich Head Hiding for the Animal Stereotype and Urban Legend that ostriches literally hide their heads in the sand, and Monkey Morality Pose for one interpretation of the proverb. Compare We Have Become Complacent. noreallife

They accept the Inquest and will side with them on most matters, even in the face of overwhelming evidence against them. This includes when an Inquest agent openly attacked the Council and they decided to have the event sent to a sub-committee rather than censure the attacker. They also chose to bury information on the Elder Dragons consuming magic so they could protect themselves rather than help defeat them.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_1858fe06	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): The same stick you could use to find someone who used Cultural Posturing in the series could also be used who also used this trope, at least within the original continuity. Quite notably, the Kingdom of Acorn and the entire Echidna race were like this very heavily. Harvey Who, the head of the Kingdom of Acorn's intelligence agency, delivered a powerful "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Elias Acorn when the latter came to get his aid in trying to reclaim the throne from Naugus. He kept warning them over and over not to trust certain people and that bad things were coming, but Maximilian Acorn, the previous king, refused to listen, rather than listening to the Source of All's guidance, and all of Mobius paid the price. When he realized Elias had a much better head on his shoulders, Harvey agreed to help. Despite being put in charge because of King Max's stupid decisions and meant to prevent such things from happening again, the Council of Acorn soon prove to be just as bad. Best shown in their first act; even after learning of the return of Enerjak, a nigh-omnipotent Reality Warper with powers limited only by his imagination, they decide to wait and refuse to let either the Freedom Fighters or Chaotix face him or head to Angel Island to investigate until more can be learned about the danger of the situation. The Chaotix outright riot in response, and Dimitri is so disgusted by their slow decision-making that he turns to Eggman for help instead. The Council of Acorn being mostly hindrances led to one disaster after another with the worst being the Super Genesis Waves. The Brotherhood of Guardians were even worse with H.I.T.S. management. They entrusted the safety and welfare of Angel Island to a naive and inexperienced teenager who was easily duped by a tyrannical warlord and when said warlord and other threats attack the island, they don't do a damn thing about it.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_1beda93b	comment	In Sluggy Freelance the leaders of the Dimension of Lame jump head-on into this trope when they're attacked by Demonic Invaders. Their entire defense strategy consists of two phases: first, ask the demons to stop killing them really nicely; second, if the first phase doesn't work, ask the demons to stop killing them really nicely a few million times. Sending them fruit baskets is optional, but a plus. This is somewhat justified by it being a dimension of Actual Pacifists, to the point where the most violently psychotic person in the entire dimension is horrified when he stubs a demon's toe. And when two people come to the reluctant conclusion that fighting might be necessary, they implement that plan by arguing with each other in an attempt to scare away the demons.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: One of the biggest reasons why the Thousand Year Blood War arc comes rolling the way it does is because, after Uryu tagged along to rescue Rukia from execution, Mayuri tried to warn Yamamoto that the Quincies might not be extinct after all and that Yhwach might have survived the last war — Yamamoto refused to even consider such a possibility and dismissed him as being paranoid. Mayuri makes sure to rub it in Yamamoto's face after he's proven undeniably right and Yamamoto tries to chastise him for not doing more. Yamamoto doesn't even try to argue after that.

Then, she presents evidence, so they try to arrest her for contempt of justice.

However, he realized exactly what was happening, and was looking for Hari Seldon's next Crisis, where a disaster could only be prevented by a specific course of action. Ultimately, this caused the collapse of the Empire itself, and averting it empowers the Foundation. The Empire has become complacent and incapable of conceiving or valuing change, while the Foundation is forced to embrace change and creativity just to survive.

He even illegally uses an override key (only permissible by vote of the Council) to make Frank take OTC medicine rather than go to the hospital when Thrax first starts showing his effects. If it weren't for Jones and Drix (who Phlegmming tries to get rid of), it would have been the end of the world for Frank's citizens.

His reticence is justified however since Gondor had increasingly refused to aid them in recent years, something he calls Aragorn out on when he brings up their Binding Ancient Treaty. It's implied his decision is partially because he wanted to make a point that at least Rohan still had the honour to live up to their commitments.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_253e45cd	comment	Prince (later King) Meurig of Gwent in The Warlord Chronicles. He starts out by convincing his fellow Gwentians to back out of the war with Powys, which any realist would see would quickly lead to Dumnonia becoming a Powysian puppet-state, thus surrounding Gwent on three sides. In the second book, while king, he refuses to intervene in a civil war in Dumnonia in support of Arthur, potentially leaving governance in the hands of a group of Saxon-backed conspirators. In the third, he refuses to join with the other British nations in resisting the Saxon invasion of Dumnonia, which proves a bridge too far: his father Tewdric returns to the throne briefly to resist the invasion. The series' framing device makes clear that Meurig's kingdom was within his lifetime mostly conquered by the Saxons.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_26fec9fc	comment	Prehistoric Park Reimagined: Protagonist Drew Luczynski is usually more reactive than proactive when it comes to his work as both rescue team leader and the manager for the titular park. Unfortunately, while this does result in him trusting the rest of the staff enough to do their jobs without him constantly looking over their shoulders, it also results in him largely ignoring various minor issues that the staff try to inform him about and only bothering to intervene in the event that any of such 'minor issues' become big enough to risk becoming major disasters. And while he does prove quite capable of resolving such problems when they reach that particular stage, his tendency to wait until they've reached such a point before doing anything to resolve them makes him a rather contentious figure amongst the park staff.

It doesnâ€™t help that they made a deal with Neo-Zeon. Then in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, they gave Char some gold and an asteroid just to stop him from doing more colony drops on Earth. But anyone who is familiar with Char such as Bright Noa and Amuro know that heâ€™s still going to drop the asteroid and theyâ€™re right. The Federationâ€™s attitude increasingly became worse in the Late Universal Century, so much that theyâ€™re completely useless against the Crossbone Vanguard and the Zanscare Empire.

Sisko sells his best arguments for why the Romulans should stop aiding the enemy, while Dax role-plays as a Romulan proconsul. If it goes this badly in rehearsal, just imagine how unpleasant the real deal would be.note Keep in mind that Dax is over 300 years old, and in her last incarnation was a Federation diplomat, so she probably knows better than anyone exactly what the Romulans will say.

Even the destruction of two of his vaunted Battle Moons fails to quell his dismissal of the Beast and his constant jockeying for power, which ultimately leads to him stealing vital command codes in an effort to force the other planets to make him their supreme leader. It's telling that the Alliance's leadership vastly prefer Femur to Mantle... and Femur is a smarmy, cheating, cowardly, hedonistic flirt from a planet of backstabbers, thieves, and assassins.

The Merlin and his people want to appease the Red Court (by offering them Harry's head) when it's fairly clear that the vampires want a war. They also completely deny the possibility of a rogue faction within the Council, despite mounting evidence. At least some of this behavior was probably due to a traitor using mind magic to subtly influence their decisions as the Merlin seemed to have pulled up his head out of the sand and was preparing to go on the offensive in Changes.

As the barbarian army advances through the empire, he insists that it's small and insignificant - you see, the forces retreating ahead of the barbarians are rebels, and are only pretending to be fleeing as an excuse to advance towards him. He sends first his guard commander and then his son to deal with the situation, and they both tell him that the barbarian threat is real... so they're traitors too, obviously. He does eventually see the truth but is defeated and killed without ever accepting any responsibility for being so catastrophically wrong.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_49a88442	comment	The Sharlayan nation in Final Fantasy XIV, for all their knowledge, acts like this when danger rears its head. In the backstory, when the Garlean Empire invaded Ala Mhigo, their response was to pack up and bail from New Sharlayan to go back home to Old Sharlayan instead. Even after this incident, Sharlayan has an extremely strict non-interventionist policy, its leaders declaring that the nation will only record history, not make it. This continuously baffles the Eorzean Alliance as time goes on, especially when the Garleans are knocking at the door. This is why Louisoix Leveilleur left the city; he decided that "to ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom, it is indolence". In Endwalker, it's revealed that though Sharlayan maintains this stance for the most part, they are also working behind the scenes preparing to ferry as many people as possible off the star and to elsewhere in case the Final Days hit. Even then, it takes cutting through red tape and Obstructive Bureaucrats left and right before the Warrior of Light can make any headway.

To clarify, the Argent Crusade was made to fight The Scourge, but remained silent when Sylvanas started using the same methods as them once they were dealt with, and the Cenarion Circle explicitly forbade the use of fel magic and molten giants, viewing them as too corrupting and destructive of nature respectively. Guess what Garrosh used? Out-of-Universe the Argent Crusade and Cenarion Circle's inaction makes sense since making them take part in the faction war (and fight against the Horde) would be unbalanced, but In-Universe, it comes across as the two organizations being this trope.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_526d4c5c	comment	Much like the later council in the Star Wars prequels, the plot of the Knights of the Old Republic series is kick-started by the Jedi Council being content to sit and wait as Mandalorian armies ravage the Republic, with a number of Jedi going against their wishes and following Revan off to war. What's left of the council continues this sort of behavior in the second game - when the Exile finds them on their own, they're reasonable enough, but bring them all back together on Dantooine and they immediately turn on the Exile, out of fear because the Exile became a Force black hole after Malachor V. They then attempt to permanently sever the Exile's connection to the Force using The Needs of the Many as an excuse.

When Breya points out how Petey's power generator at the galactic core is under attack, one of the ambassadors retorts that this is bad only for Petey and asks if it really is their problem as well, failing to realize that if Petey loses the core the galaxy is finished. Breya replies with "not immediately", but the Sarcasm-Blind ambassador interprets this as them being able to wait things out. Breya has to explicitly point out to the assembly that the Pa'anuri will have killed everyone in the galaxy within a couple of centuries before the gravity of the situation becomes clear.

What really invokes this trope is the last few storylines where it's increasingly clear that several forces are trying to find the Pit, including Impossible Thief Hazel Kim and Mad Scientist Mr Sin (who happens to be a member of the Committee) but the rest of the group refuses to even consider doing anything to stop them, mainly because majority votes are required for them to take action.

When the Secret Avengers come out of hiding to offer a truce and their services, Ross instead orders their arrest, which Rhodey ignores.

Repeatedly, when there is an Obstructive Bureaucrat, their problem is that they don't think that the enemy of the season is a real threat. It gets worse after the introduction of the I.O.A., who insist on inflicting ridiculous policies on SGC personnel, all whilst ignoring the various major threats that are poised to annihilate Earth or the galaxy at any given moment. For the most part, the SGC personnel seem to consider the I.O.A. to be a joke organization and are well aware that its members are such slaves to PR, they'd never want to be seen complaining about Earth being saved because they were ignored.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: Long Feng, the Evil Chancellor of Ba-Sing-Se, has elements of this. While he's clearly aware of the war with the Fire Nation, he seems more interested in keeping it under wraps than actually doing anything about it, and he spends far more time scheming against the Avatar, the world's last realistic hope, than against his enemies. It's not a completely straight example, as he is quite active (and very ruthless) in enforcing his own power — he just doesn't want to jeopardize it. The leadership of the Northern Water Tribe also falls under this, having spent 85 years of a 100-year world war doing absolutely nothing following an earlier skirmish with the Fire Nation. They only rouse themselves to fight off a second invasion of their fortress-city, and after that, they resume doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the series (contributing no forces to the last-chance invasion on the day of Black Sun, for example), although quite a few of them, including their greatest waterbender, were busy rebuilding the Southern Water Tribe. The second case is quite justified though, as said battle brought heavy losses on the Northern Water Tribe, putting them in no condition to fight an offensive war. On a much smaller scale than the above, the leader of the village in "Avatar Day" seems more interested in executing the Avatar for crimes committed in a past life than in helping the Avatar save the world until Fire Nation soldiers arrive on his doorstep. All in all, the reason the two Nations were losing the war became increasingly clear over the course of the series. A subverted example from "Return to Omashu" would be King Bumi who, when Fire Nation troops attacked, immediately surrendered and simply cackled about doing nothing, but it's subverted in that he was simply waiting for another moment to strike. Said chance arrives during the day of Black Sun, whereupon Bumi easily breaks free of his bindings and proceeds to singlehandedly rout the now-powerless Fire Nation soldiers occupying Omashu. Also subverted with the Earth King. He was practicing Head In The Sand Management because he genuinely didn't know about the war, having been kept in the dark about it his whole life by his regent, the aforementioned Long Feng. When he discovers it, he laments how long it took for him to act and immediately works with Aang to help coordinate an invasion plan. The order of the White Lotus, a secret society dedicated to harmony between all three kingdoms, and including every Master of every discipline from the show, sat out the war until the literal last day. Although in keeping with the group's board game theming, a lot of that is justified by getting all of their pieces into place; in fact, their leader was directly involved with events from the very first episode. Raiko from the sequel series The Legend of Korra refuses to help Korra free the Southern Water Tribe from the Northern Water Tribe because it's something that does not directly involve the Republic, and when told later on of Unalaq's evil plan to free the terrible Vaatu from his prison, he still declines because he feels it's better to simply try to prepare for the worst-case-scenario and ready Republic City's forces to try and weather the storm. Naturally, due to his lack of help, Korra fails to prevent Vaatu's escape, and Republic City's defenses are utterly useless against the hybrid form of Unalaq/Vaatu, who would have destroyed the city had Korra not arrived in time to stop them. Raiko, of course, wasted no time spinning things to blame Korra for the mess. Subverted in the fourth season, when he recognizes the threat posed by Kuvira and the Earth Empire and mobilizes all United Republic defenses to stop her. Ironically, he then has to deal with this trope from Fire Lord Izumi, who doesn't want to commit to a first strike given her nation's history, and Tenzin, who's a pacifist and also won't condone a preemptive attack.

All three quickly do a 180 in Mass Effect 3 when the Reapers finally arrive, and amusingly Turian Sparatus is the most supportive of the three. Salarian Valern requires Shepard to rescue him from Cerberus, and the supposedly reasonable Asari Tevos first states that, "The cruel and unfortunate truth is that while the Reapers focus on Earth, we can prepare and regroup". Later it's revealed that she had extremely important information regarding a Prothean Beacon that the Asari had been hiding for centuries and doesn't tell Shepard until the last minute. This ends up resulting in Laser-Guided Karma when Thessia falls to the Reapers about as fast as Earth did once the Reapers actually reach it. Lampshaded during the Citadel coup attempt. When you tell them Udina sold them out to Cerberus, Tevos admits that every time they've doubted you before (i.e. every time you've spoken to them except when you proved Saren's treachery), it hasn't ended well for them.

After a lot of hard work, luck, and Heroic Sacrifice, you succeed in capturing him. You are given a medal and told that the Republic has traded the prisoner back to the Empire for some trivial concessions. This can be averted, but it requires certain choices to be made and shouting down the Supreme Chancellor while they're giving you a medal. There is an undeclared war going on with the Sith Empire that the Republic is losing but the Senate sees no reason to be concerned and thinks that they can still negotiate with the Sith.

Chamberlains can be found liberally sprinkled among Starfleet's admiralty, the Federation's civilian leadership, and the councils of many alien worlds. The stick they wield is the Prime Directive, originally drafted to prevent the Federation from imposing its will on defenseless alien species, now ironically aiding and abetting the very same. Discussed in the popular Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "In the Pale Moonlight." Sisko sells his best arguments for why the Romulans should stop aiding the enemy, while Dax role-plays as a Romulan proconsul. If it goes this badly in rehearsal, just imagine how unpleasant the real deal would be.note Keep in mind that Dax is over 300 years old, and in her last incarnation was a Federation diplomat, so she probably knows better than anyone exactly what the Romulans will say.

The military in Godzilla (2014), and the government and most of the public in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), perceive Monarch as a straight example because of their refusal to try killing every Titan they find on human terms and their preference to let Godzilla do his thing. In actuality, Monarch are refusing because they know that eradicating the Titans or attempting to eradicate them would shoot humanity in the foot one way or anothernote Either humanity would cause their own mass extinction which would eradicate us within the next century or two without the Titans to maintain the ecosphere's balance, or our own arrogance would lead to us overestimating our ability to kill the Titans and they would decimate our civilization in aggravation. That being said, Monarch are still often highly indecisive when it comes to finding better solutions to dealing with the genuinely hostile Titans: Serizawa correctly tells Admiral Stenz that Godzilla can destroy the MUTOs for us and will then leave humanity in peace, but he fails to offer any specifics about how to minimize the collateral that that route would entail in order to convince Stenz that such a strategy doesn't equate to the military sitting on their asses while people die. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Monarch are right that The Government's plan would be tantamount to sabotaging ourselves as a civilization, but for all of Serizawa's preachings on finding coexistence, Monarch doesn't seem to be doing anything to make that ideal a reality, instead keeping the Titans contained and maintaining the status quo even while the government gets closer to dissolving Monarch and enacting their plan (the Eco-Terrorist Emma Russell calls Monarch out on this). In Godzilla vs. Kong, the Humans Are Morons trope is in full effect, and no one in Monarch thinks to investigate Apex Cybernetics, despite the corporation's suspiciously central whereabouts in Godzilla's attacks, until it's too late (in fact, Mark Russell outright dismisses Madison's warnings about Apex out of hand) â€“ this is downplayed in the novelization, where Mark and Director Guillerman are investigating Apex, but they're still too slow to stop Apex completing Mechagodzilla and they still don't call off the Hollow Earth expedition which is ultimately crucial to Apex's success.

After thousands of years, the Others have returned and are raising an army of the dead beyond the Wall? What imaginations the men of the Night's Watch have. Zombies or not, there's definitely an invasion underway and the Wall is hopelessly underdefended? Great, that should keep the King in the North busy and out of the fighting for the Iron Throne. A better example of this trope might be Cersei's attempts to rule Westeros. She undermines Tyrion as often as she can purely out of spite, and when given the opportunity she gets rid of all the experienced councilors and replaces them with toadies who are unable or unwilling to give her useful advice (which she seldom listens to anyway). Despite the aforementioned civil war threatening the destruction of her entire family, and the Decadent Court containing a large number of highly skilled opponents who will grab more power as soon as they can, she ignores all the long-term problems and focuses only on her own impulsive decisions. As of the end of book five, this has come back to bite her REALLY hard.

So long as it looked like Alicent's family and Rhae's weren't about to kill each other, he was content. The minute Viserys died, all Hell breaks lose. Dorne's approach to some of the Vulture Kings was to say they were going to do something about it, followed by doing nothing. Then again, given the Vulture Kings tended to prey on Westerosi, and Dorne's history with the rest of the continent, there might be reasons for this...

Despite the First Order openly violating the treaties signed at the end of the Galactic Civil War with their remilitarization, the New Republic Senate dismisses any attempts to point out how dangerous they are becoming as warmongering and paranoia, and the only opposition is General Leia's own privately funded militia. This allows the First Order to build a new superweapon that makes the Death Star look like a small firecracker, destroy the Republic capital in the Hosnian system, and conquer the galaxy with ease.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: In the History and Lore videos on The Vale, Petyr Baelish (admittedly biased) regards this as the chief failing of the Vale, noting that their geographical defenses have kept them isolated from matters of real concern, like making peace with or destroying the Hill Tribes and it feeds them an unjustified sense of security and superiority. In the series proper, amoral Mad Scientist Qyburn accuses the Maesters of this, directly accusing them of being behind Westeros' Medieval Stasis. Initially, this seems to be just a Never My Fault justification for his For Science! attitude but then comes The Reveal in season 7. Namely, that the Maesters know, and have always known, that the White Walkers are real, but they see no reason to bother with alerting the rulers of Westeros and possibly dooming millions of innocent people because they assume that the Wall in the North will keep them at bay as it has done for centuries. They are completely right. Tywin's review on Tytos Lannister's rule. The eldest son had to step in when brewing, unattended conflicts were mismanaged for far too long.

Only for the threat to have escalated into near unstoppable, whether it's an Ork WAAAGH!!!, a Chaos horde, or a Tyranid Hive Fleet, the imperial rulers would mostly remain oblivious to it, or just flee the system. Assuming that they weren't working with said Chaos horde/Tyranid fleet in the first place.

Once they get proof, however, they quickly wise up and take the threat seriously... except for Sentinel Prime, who still insists they should cover up the Decepticon attacks to prevent panic and just pretend things are fine. Things really hit the fan when Ultra Magnus is assassinated by a Decepticon spy; Sentinel Prime is just high-ranking enough to take over as Magnus, over the objections of the Council, and he proceeds to turn Cybertron into a borderline police state. He tells the public about the Decepticon threat, but only as a way of controlling them, otherwise not doing anything to combat them, even as groups like Team Chaar tear their way through Autobot territory. He spends most of his time harassing or illegally detaining any Autobots who question his reign too much or discuss the Decepticons too openly for â€œtreasonâ€�. His lieutenant, Jazz, is so disgusted that he defects to Optimusâ€™ team, while Alpha Trion begins openly searching for a way to unseat Sentinel.

Naturally, due to his lack of help, Korra fails to prevent Vaatu's escape, and Republic City's defenses are utterly useless against the hybrid form of Unalaq/Vaatu, who would have destroyed the city had Korra not arrived in time to stop them. Raiko, of course, wasted no time spinning things to blame Korra for the mess. Subverted in the fourth season, when he recognizes the threat posed by Kuvira and the Earth Empire and mobilizes all United Republic defenses to stop her. Ironically, he then has to deal with this trope from Fire Lord Izumi, who doesn't want to commit to a first strike given her nation's history, and Tenzin, who's a pacifist and also won't condone a preemptive attack.

You can warn her about anti-Qunari fanatics abusing her seal, but she doesn't act against them until the Viscount's son is murdered and violence is all but inevitable. Her refusal to take a stand in the Mage-Templar conflict leads to both sides becoming radicalized - the Templars turn Kirkwall into a borderline police state, while cornered mages turn to blood magic in droves. Anders gets so fed up that he blows up the entire Chantry with Elthina in it, forcing the issue. Her refusal to take action continues to cause problems years after her death, as mages cite Elthina's example and what it led to as the reason that they don't trust Divine Justinia to address their grievances. Viscount Dumar tends to take a very quiet route in regard to the Qunari. He clearly doesn't like them and doesn't like his son hanging around with them, but his only actions amount to sending Hawke to try and appease them. Part of the problem is that the Viscount doesn't want to do anything lest he incur the wrath of the nobles, but neither can he take a direct approach as the Arishok refuses to say anything to him other than "Begone". This forces Dumar to rely on Hawke, as Hawke is the only person in Kirkwall the Arishok considers worthy of his attention. After the murder of his son by Chantry zealots hoping to frame the Qunari, Dumar simply stops caring altogether, leading to the situation deteriorating rapidly, the Qunari beginning a military coup of Kirkwall, and Dumar's subsequent execution by the Arishok.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends gives us the Fallanassi, who are such pacifists that, even when billions of people are dying, they refuse to take up arms. The New Republic hardly does anything useful, and its senators are either corrupt or easily manipulated by the latest threat to the galaxy, and most of the time they either hamper or ignore the heroes' warnings about the next galactic threat. Such as the Yuuzhan Vong.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_ec1eac0e	comment	Empires SMP Season 1: One of the initial ways for the rulers to deal with Xornoth's Corruption was to ignore it or to throw the pieces in a box in the middle of nowhere, where it would take time for it to spread back to their empires even if it spread from the box. It's explained that this helps them to buy time for investigating how to remove the Corruption permanently, and they went as far as to joke that the Corruption returning to their lands would be a problem for their future selves to deal with. It's safe to say that it didn't last, forcing the rulers to come up with new ways to deal with the Corruption.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_ed01bf4	comment	Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: A major plot point. Lee Shaw views the 21st century iteration of Monarch with absolute, bitter contempt; chiding them that they had decades to prepare for a Titan emergence which could endanger thousands of lives before 2014 came, failed to contain it when it happened, and their only solution was to "let them fight" instead of actively intervening, without any contingencies available if the MUTOs had triumphed over Godzilla and threatened all of humanity.

Double subverted when it turns out that the Time Masters were actually working with Savage because they believed his leadership was needed to stop an alien invasion in the future, and then it was later revealed that Vandal manipulated them so that he could use time travel to further his own plans of conquest.

Once it went back to sleep, the majority of its inhabitants tried to deal with this by just pretending that it never happened. The breezies were the only ones trying to deal with the situation and were constantly hampered by the bigger folk's thoughtless actions.

Head-in-the-Sand Management / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: In the second-season finale, as the station is gearing up for possible conflict with the newly (re-)militarily expansionist Centauri, a high-level diplomat comes to the station from Earth...and reveals that he's there to make a non-aggression treaty with the Centauri. He even says "peace in our time." However, while he was serious in his intent, he was chosen for this task by superiors who were working with the Shadows (who didn't want their pawns fighting). Early in the fourth season, the Drazi and Hyach ambassadors want to prevent Delenn and her few remaining supporters from continuing attacks on the Shadows. They believe that if the Army of Light doesn't antagonize the Shadows, they might well go back to sleep for another thousand years, but if Delenn and company press on, it will drag everyone down into the abyss. As is usual with this trope, the Drazi and Hyach ambassadors aren't evil... they're just wrong. The Expanded Universe reveals that this and internal politics nearly doomed the League of Non-Aligned Worlds during the Dilgar War: when the Dilgar started expanding against the neutral worlds of Alaca and Balos, the Abbai and the Drazi, who were the League members closest to Dilgar space, raised the alarm and called for a united response to the Dilgar atrocities, only for the rest of the members to buy the Dilgar propaganda about having launched a retaliatory invasion for their attacks against Dilgar colonies and the League having been created to defend against a potential Centauri remilitarization, with some saying the Abbai (who founded the League in the first place and held a great influence through their superior technology) and the Drazi (the foremost military power in the League) trying to use the Dilgar as an excuse to increase their power over the League. Fast forward ten years, the Dilgar, having built-up their forces in the meantime and knowing their homeworld's sun is about to explode and none of their other worlds can support their population on top of extreme racism, launch a genocidal invasion of the League, breaking past the defensive-minded Abbai, pinning down the Drazi, and picking off the rest of the League one by one because they won't join forces while the major powers watched (the Narn because their government had deals with the Dilgar and was locked in a power struggle with elements that felt it was immoral, the Centauri because a future enemy and their current enemies were bleeding and weakening each other for a future battle, and the Minbari because in their isolation didn't care or even know). To add insult to injury, when the Centauri remilitarized and returned into an expansionist phase during the series the League was powerless to stop them, in no small part because they still hadn't fully recovered from the losses of ships, manpower, and infrastructure from the Dilgar War. Luckily averted at the turning point of the war: when ambassadors from the Abbai and some League worlds that had been overrun reached Earth and pled their case to the Earth Alliance Senate, some were of the idea the Dilgar weren't their problem and planned to vote against up until the ambassadors successfully pointed out the resemblance between the policies and attitude of the Dilgar and those of Nazi Germany, resulting into Earth Alliance intervening with its massive military and turning the tide out of a combination of indignation and realization that if the Dilgar won they were next.

And yet, Sibyl kept their heads and focused on trying to darken Akaneâ€™s Psycho-pass instead. Later on, itâ€™s revealed that Sibyl knew that Kamui is dangerous and were unable to comprehend his entity, which explains their inaction against him. But itâ€™s already too late when Kamui gains the upper hand and judges the system by forcing them to remove their brains with high crime coefficients.
