And then an elite few become the government and the cycle starts over.

On a slightly more on-topic note, and tie things together, I've been
having DNS issues with all wikipedia-related sites off and on
recently, and I called my ISP (megaline.kg—I'm in Kyrgyzstan for the
summer), and they checked it out, reporting "that site works fine for
us, and it's not one of the sites we block."  .....  Yeah.  But then
even in Australia they overtly block certain sites, iiuc.

Well, due to the recent mess in Chinese Turkmenistan, we still can't get anything like Facebook, (Youtube has been blocked for some long time now), or anything with "blog" in the address. Ha! Not to mention a number of other services.
