As the infernal month for celebrating sin and degeneracy comes to an end, I wanna take this time to reflect on a growing trend I've noticed both politically and in the media: the rise of The Shadow King or Tyrant King.

And the fact the prideful bunch absolutely revel in it. The Shadow King is the inverse of The King. Where the King provides law and order, the Shadow King sows discord and chaos. Where the King is generative, producing heirs and ensuring the future, the Shadow King shirks duty, seeking pleasure and corruption.
