As a kid, I was always taught that if the Left Wing parties got control of a nation, they would raise taxes and implement unprecedented surveillance on their citizens. Papers please, do as we tell you, don't do or say anything that goes against what we say is best for you.

30 years later, it turns out that it's not the Left Wing, and I'm fairly sure it's not the Right Wing either.

It's people.

These guys, the ones ruling us and not leading us, have been waiting in the wings for years. They've been working in big business, learning about marketing and manipulation of public opinion, how to influence what is said about them, how to market themselves. Now that they have their opportunity, they're going to use it to turn themselves into kings, and what will we do about it?

We will cheer them on, because they've worked hard so they deserve it.
