Ugh another beast system reference. People shouldn't be able to cram their religions into decent stories.

What an algorithm...
The "winners" awarded tokens so that anyone trying to save(or depose them, rightfully and deservedly -- one in the same as saving since they're dangerously self destructive with global collateral damage included in their reckless behavior) them is interpreted as "jealous" or "envious" of their little tokens. Meanwhile, the token holders are just thralls performing on strings they can't see, all to creating an illusion about the have and have-nots... To maintain the appearance of the primate hierarchy with the silver back getting all the shinies... Though i guess rats would be a better analogy in the case if shinies... The winners are losers and the losers lose so hard that it's like a pendulum swinging in 360 degrees instead of back...
