Pretty much. And those who aren't high on their own supply are no better- all of them, they're rotten to the core, and will do anything to cling to power and empire. That's how they got to where they are, after all.

I suppose it's one of those paradoxes that makes you cross your eyes thinking about it; if they didn't buy the bs about The West being superior, they wouldn't have made it to a position of power at all. They live in glamour and splendor and are surrounded by people whose job it is to use scientific-sounding terms to assure them that their empire is secure. Of course you'd think Everything Is Fine in that environment.
