We

Woe stems from fear; a fear that things might get better if things just worked out this once. When you’ve been in the pits for as long as you can remember and there is no hope of escape, then there is no woe, there is only reality. How much of that you can swallow is up to you.

This is a dangerous weapon to use on the poor and disenfranchised. Pushing woe into their lives – the hope that they can maybe, possibly, eventually climb beyond their current condition is what is truly evil. To elect a small few to rise and grow and give nothing for the labors of the rest is cruel.

Should this tactic be employed for too long it stops working. People give up. Generations of woe leads to apathy and the poor find other ways beyond your system to grant success.

When these bastard’s snatch away the status quo and usurp your power under their name through illegal trade, subversion, protest, peace, and violence then you have no grounds to complain. You are not popular, nor are you good. You may use fancy words to pretty up the situation but the fact of the matter is simple: you made their lives hell; they’re just sharing.
