No, no: the jackwagons atop the Tower engage in the reign of terror.

The gravity at work here is economics, as seen through the lens of people. People, it turns out, don't flourish in captivity.

People don't flourish when most of their productive output is sucked up by some neo-feudal lord, either.

For some reason, capital is currently consolidating at the top.

And those at the top pander to the bottom for power with public money.

Disadvantage: the kulaks.
