Why teach in the language of power?

It may seem excessively "college" to relate this question back to a drinking game, but let’s think about how people play the game "Presidents and Assholes." The game, even from the title, resembles the status quo in this country. Each player starts with equal standing, and then positions his or herself in the hierarchy from "President" all the way down to "Asshole" depending on both their knowledge of the rules at the start and the first hand they're dealt. Position in the hierarchy during successive games depends on successive starting points, because of rules in place to keep trump cards in the hands of the higher-ups, and the ability to understand the rules of the game being played, which can change as the president becomes able to make decrees. When I play this game, if I see someone playing poorly because they don't understand what is or is not an intelligent play, I will, when I get tired of watching the “President” force the "Asshole" to drink too much for no particular reason, teach that person a few things about the game to improve their chance at making it up the ladder. Every asshole wants to change the rules to make their life better, but the fact is that if you want to change the rules, you have to first win the game being played. We teach the language of power so someone new can win the game being played, and maybe then make some rules to level the playing field for all of us.
