Politicians as MUCKers

Now, this is a subject that will get the goat of some people, make others say 'It's so true!' or just mildly amuse the majority of people. Or it may disturb people. So take it with a grain of salt, it's not supposed to be entirely serious or anything.

( What's this MUCK thing of which you speak? )

You know, I was going to make a huge essay about this but I found it was rambling needlessly as I usually do. So instead I'll make it short and open it up to commentary:

If you look at the majority of politicians from the perspective of kids who are playing characters on a MUCK who are in positions of power and want to keep those positions safe, and keep their friends safe from the assholes in the rest of the game, and do some Cool Stuff, then it all makes a sudden weird kind of sense.

And, no, this is no sort of slam on anyone. Characters come in all types and styles, as do people. Heck, if anything, this is more of a slam on politicians, I imagine. I just found it interesting that, if you think about it, there are similarities between politicians and characters in charge of factions on MUCKs.

Man, I think I'm loosing my gift of gab. Anyway, on to the commentary. Or lack thereof. Pax.
