♫Isn't this ugly? Isn't this terrible? I can't believe what The Usual Suspects have done. They've made breastfeeding real with HIV. Isn't this... uglier... than... sin? dah dah din... dah dah din♫ (with apologies to Stevie Wonder) The Weimar Republic was the same and the same players were behind the making of it, and that gave rise to what followed... eh?

This is the general reaction to deep and endemic corruption. You swing too far in one direction, and... the pendulum of reaction swings back just as powerfully in the other direction. This sort of vile nonsense is more common in The Crown Colonies than it is anywhere else... yet. This is because certain influences have fewer checks upon their perversities in those locations. This is what comes from letting everyone live their own truth... when there is no truth present at all.

Why... it gets weirder and weirder, and... well... weirder is... what it gets. When a certain segment of the population possesses an adamant resistance to the idea of a Divine Being, there is no limit to what they might be capable of creating in its place. In fact... what you get is The Opposite Number. I am often amused at how this particular set can worship The Dark Side, and then insist that there is no Light Side. It goes completely against the observable physics of existence.
