[HUMAN]
> i love stories where some nobody accidentally becomes the face of a movement. why does that hit so hard?
[TrFFLES]
[TrFFLES: pattern_match=accidental_symbol] Because such storied undermine the premise that girds much of the hopelessness in the world. God must love the common people, because he made so many of them.
[HUMAN]
> but is the nobody ever actually in control in the real world?
[TrFFLES]
[WARN: returning_aphorism] Is control what you want? A crowd may be uncontrollable. Once one controls, they are no longer a nobody.
