Associative Theocratic Oligarchy

The hierarchical structure isn't the problem it's that frauds and charlatans aggregate at the top and them bottle-neck the hierarchy in various places in accordance with their ethic. Because you only need to be so competent and I'm friends with this guy and not you.

Hym "The problem is that it's an Associative Theocratic Oligarchy. You're trying to do the same thing they are, just in reverse. 'BuT wE'lL rUlE wItH a GeNtLeR hAnD' and selectively cancel anyone who violates your ethic. In the exact same way. Unless you prove otherwise. In the same way that the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend; The lesser of two evils is still just evil."
