Gives me big fascist vibes. Sounds similar to Nixon and Reagans racist statements about "letting the tail wag the dog". It's supremacist language used by dumb elites who think they're touched by god or some mystical shit that gives them the right to oppress the masses.

the fascist vibes come from the founding myth of most fascist states being "great betrayal of our nation" by weak politicians. the fascist project is to put in place even more imperialist and bloodthirsty ghouls in place of an already imperialist state

Fascists absolutely love to compare themselves to lions and eagles, which is a shame, because those animals are cool

I swear to god they better not touch gryphons, they're my favorite mythical creature
