Yes for thee, nay for me
"Today was a mockery. If we truly believe this isn't demoralizing, dehumanizing to the people we're asking to do something, we should be able to lead by example and go first. And you ran from it. I don't know how you're going to be able to sleep tonight."

They want the return of rule by landed gentry.
All the worst of England's Victorian Era; poor Houses, child labor, debtor's prison, indentured servitude, etc. But instead of it being the "white man's burden" to lead (with or without the consent of the followers) it is now the "rich man's burden" to drag us all into line.
Our world and every country in it are colonization targets of multinational corporations.
