The ruling class has long feared their own banner-men; they needed and feared the different Clans in their own territory. They feared the Great Houses in their own lands. They feared the people living in real community. Most of all, they feared those communities uniting together.
Before they tore apart the immediate family, they planned to keep grandparents away. Before they removed the Matriarch and Patriarch, they tore apart our affiliation with like-minded friends and family who possessed the ability to effectively collectively bargain and stand against edicts from above.
Now they, the state, the ruling elite, have the only banner; they are the only clan, there is but one house sigil, THEIRS. They can inflate the money, put a diaper on our face, fire us for not getting a shot, take us to court for nothing, and so on. No one really has our back. We are alone. We haven’t a house; we have no banners to call, the clan is gone, and its stronghold has crumbled.
