What is popular is not always right. What is right is not always popular.

Plenty of folks in the real world still know murder is wrong, even when the murdered person has done heinous acts.

That said, I think this development was inevitable. People will only take so much inequality before taking matters into their own hands. I just hope we avoid the decent into anarchy that defined the lead up to WW1.

I get a lot more out of reading history than fiction, and there are so many greats choc full of life lessons. A few that really stand out:

Nicolas and Alexandra - ignore the little people at your own peril

The Guns of August - political leaders have no idea what they’re doing

The Right Stuff - some people are willing to do anything to get that sensation of living on the edge
