The fight for power has this unavoidable conclusion. The saying that “knowledge is power” is more true than I think most people realize. He who knows the most holds all the power. It doesn’t matter who is in power or what their beliefs are - they would eventually have to resort to these tactics or risk losing their foothold. Those who don’t or can’t afford to will be overrun.

We dislike it even though we would be forced to do the same thing in their position. We dislike it because we aren’t the ones in power. Again, as it goes in the jungle, life isn’t always fair.
