never seen a small cabal of leaders fall from grace so dramatically before.
all the efforts to corral opinion ended up creating a sort of explosive enclosure. the barriers didn't just fall down. they were turned to smithereens, seemingly overnight.
unless it has secretly reformed elsewhere, it looks like the old regime is finally dead. perhaps they will be more comfortable with rivetz as it seems there was an element of a personality cult behind things.
i wonder if they understand what just happened and why.
