Keeping Up Appearances

I posted this cartoon on my birthday 4 years ago.

It’s true: the temptation for leaders to uphold an image is equally met by the temptation for their people to uphold that same image. It is like there is a silent agreement that the leader and people conspire together to create this image that both agree with, settle for, and enslave themselves to. It becomes a power that is sometimes impossible to extinguish.

Usually everyone complies. It takes particular courage to resist this development and break it once it occurs.
