There was a line in Ender's Shadow about how you can't accure power by begging to those who have it. If I ever get around to making a proper Reddit successor, I will spend countless sleepness nights making sure these parasites are confined to the room they made a mess of.

Edit: From the opening chapter, "Because these fools always look up for power. People above you, they never want to share power with you. Why you look to them? They give you nothing. People below you, you give them hope, you give them respect, they give you power, cause they don't think they have any, so they don't mind giving it up." Power is both bottm-up and top-down, but not bottom-up in the "fight the power, we oh so radical" LARP sense you get from Tom Morello.
