@feelsdesperate It's just status coding - violent vices and alcohol problems are low-status so journalists assume that is what working class people are like, where it's really just dysfunction that upper class can afford more of unlik the lower classes
@FTheroizer@extradeadjcb Not actually all that weird...because he is outside the normal hierarchy they just stick him where convient in their minds. Right hand of the Emperor to them means he has no personal power and "they got their orders from the Emperor himself"
