I think the context is a bit off kilter, while the subject does apply as he put it, it applies to alot more than politics. But leave it to you to find something in this form.
I think the point illustrates the difference between one kind of people vs. the other kind of people. Of course it is no surprise that they "yes" crowd would find their way into government, in fact it seems almost inevitable. I have indeed lived both sides. In the last several years I've come to the opinion that his "yes" crowd is emotionally immature among other things.
My family would not tolerate such things from a five year old. Now don't get me wrong, the situation was that we had to act right or be punished, but that did nothing to quell the urge to assert undue authority over or think of one's self as more important than another, it just prevented us from acting on these impulses. What I'm saying I guess is that once you grow up, you think and feel differently, whereas before that time you may conform to get what you want, whether it is in the form of a reward or lack of punishment.
This leads to sublimination of one's desires, which is loosely defined in the video clip, and I believe to some psychological problems.
Drunk or sober, I seem to arrive at the same conclusion, which is - The biggest problem in the world today is people.
