Assholes rule the world.

Assholes rule the world. We are at their mercy, which is in short supply.
Why are they allowed to rule the world? Because people are lazy. They don't want to think about the situation we are ultimately in.
It's hard enough getting through life on a day to day basis, doing the things that need done. Uniting against the ruling assholes and planning a large scale takeback of the planet, while ensuring that assholes, once again, will not weasel their way to the top and once again rule, is virtually impossible. OK, there's nothing virtual about it. It's goddamn impossible.
So, all we can do is live the best we can and hope that the assholes do not throw all-out temper tantrums and nuke the whole fuckin planet.
That, and rest easy in the knowledge that in the next world, their brand of power will be unattainable. If you believe in that sort of thing. Which I do.
