The forceful, the “might” are almost exclusively the weakest most fearful bastards looking to put everyone to work for their comforts. Their generations get so pampered, yet they’ve learned to harness social machinations to fool everyone into believing this is all fine and normal. The majority of people would do much better without these pampered weaklings, but they’re divided along funny little sports teams based on color, language or hats. So the strongest people are in fact subjugated by a weakling class of elites
