If I see one more person say that c!Wilbur “went mad”, “threw a tantrum” or “was unfairly angry” after the election results I will snap: A look back at the L’manburg elections and the Soot-Innit exile order
Alright so, let’s go back a bit. The war for independence. Tommy loses the duel meant to grant them their freedom, and so decides to sacrifice his most precious items for this idea of a nation, this blooming project. Once granted liberty, Wilbur starts writing the Decree of Independence and declares himself president of the nation.
This is the first move that people point to when describing Wilbur as tyrannical to his core, but the move isn’t one of a tyrant dictator, really. The nation was newly formed, it was Wilbur’s idea from the beginning, and he was the lead general in the war for independence, thus, it only makes sense that he’d be the leader, especially when the newly formed nation wasn’t even ready to hold proper democratic elections. If you have a nation just coming out of war and which citizens have little organization, you wouldn’t go calling for elections anyway. Furthermore, Wilbur said “I’m the president” and wrote it, but it might as well have been almost democratic if nobody expressed opposition. This would be a very different story if somebody had said “No! I don’t want this! This other person should be president!”, but nobody did, they all agreed with the idea and then followed Wilbur out of their own volition. I remind you that anybody would be free to go out of L’manburg if they so desired, or challenged Wilbur, whose greatest power is really just his prose and eloquence, but they didn’t.
So: Wilbur’s the president. He’s distant, he’s depressed, he cries into his pillow at night, his self-worth issues start to blossom as he further ties himself and his value as a human being to what he can provide for his people and how safe he can keep them, not thinking of himself as doing a particularly good job.
“I mean, look, Tubbo, I’ll be the first one to say I didn’t always treat you the best on L’Manberg. And I know I didn’t! I was somewhat of a distant ruler, I pretty much only really- … Look, I wasn’t the best ruler, I know I wasn’t. I think I was a good ruler, but I-” - (Wilbur’s techno and wilbur make cave better: 1:21:50, 23rd Sep)
–
“I just- I- I just remember I was in power, and I would- when I wasn’t on a stage I would cry a lot, and- and scream into my pillow until I felt better. That’s what I- but I don’t remember why I would do that” - (Tubbo’s THE GREAT REBUILDING: 2:14:18, 17th Nov)
At this point, L’manburg starts having some inner conflict, some civil wars, and Wilbur perceives that he basically holds no power over the people, because they can just ignore what he says and keep on the chaos. Thus, he gets the idea that for his power to be legitimate and for his people to respect it and listen to what he has to say, he should hold an election, with the catch of it being a show election since POG 2020 would’ve been the only available party.
Now, Quackity arrives, the beans are spilled, and now he wants to participate with his own party in the L’manburg elections. Now, as a leader of the nation which was quite vulnerable to attacks from outsiders, Wilbur could’ve just prohibited Quackity from participating at all, which would be a more damning move to the fandom, but also a pretty logistically sound move, only letting insider parties run would’ve made sense, but in the end, Quackity asked and so was allowed to participate, even as he showed a fundamental misunderstanding of the nation and what it went through at the hands of Dream and company and as Wilbur stated that he would make the nation unsafe with his ideals. (I could go into further analysis of the Wilbur-Quackity conversation from the stream “Killing my enemies”, but I’ll probably just address it in further detail in a separate post where I’m more focused on their characters, in the meantime, I got a bit into part of it as well as how Wilbur sees the possession of power and the concept of honour in this post).
“What has made you do everything you’ve done up to this point?” (Quackity)
“That’s a- That’s a big question. Um. I guess it’s just protection for my people. I mean, I- I- I just want to see them thrive, and I want to see them safe.” (Alivebur)
- (Quackity’s Killing My Enemies: 1:03:02, 12th Apr)
–
“Your aspirations of optimism are not going to be subject to my nation’s security I’m afraid. I- I completely disagree with everything you’ve said.” - (Quackity’s Killing My Enemies: 1:05:18, 12th Apr)
–
“They’re gonna tear down the walls… … Tommy. They say they’re gonna tear down the walls. They’re gonna open it up to Americans. Our safe space! Our safe space. Remember, remember when we made the park? That was fun. Remember the Camarvan? Remember all the history we’ve had here? They’re gonna tear it down.” - (Wilbur’s Election Night: 1:18:17, 20th Sep)
–
“Our safe space. Our safe space.” - (Wilbur’s Election Night: 1:18:27, 20th Sep)
The days pass, Coconut 2020 forms, which is an insider group, and is freely let to participate as well as SWAG 2020. Eventually, Schlatt arrives as an endorsement for POG 2020, where, having the ballots already closed, he reveals he wants to participate as well with his own party extremely last minute. Now, not only would an actual tyrant not let any of this happen, but any kind of leader of a nation would be in their complete right to refuse, as it’s an outsider, the debating period has come and gone, and the ballots have closed. They would have ample ground to stand on to refuse Schlatt participating at all, but Wilbur still allows it. At this point, pointing at how Wilbur originally planned to stage a show election with one party to claim that he’s “evil” and “power hungry” is not only incorrect, but also completely irrelevant, as we’ve gone so further from that original idea that he’s letting his sponsor guy participate even with the ballots long closed and the elections having practically already started (again, they were literally showing their endorsements. Come on).
The elections come and go. Coconut 2020 attempts voter fraud and doesn’t get anywhere (note how the one who’s always called “undemocratic” is Wilbur, when other characters are completely willing to do stuff like this while he allows endorsement man to enter the pool of possibilities even if extremeley late to the whole thing). Wilbur attempted a coalition deal with Quackity to have a greater chance against Schlatt in which he’d probably win himself, so Quackity backs down, but thus leaves the precedent of coalitions being legal in L’manburg elections. Quackity forms a coalition with Schlatt of which the voters don’t find out until after voting.
The votes say that POG 2020 wins by majority, but pulling the coalition's votes together, Schlatt-SWAG win by only 1%. Now, before moving forward, I want you to realize how insane that is. The single party of POG 2020 had such a large magnitude of votes that the pulling of votes from two separate parties only overtook them by a mere 1%. If Wilbur called for a second election period in which the voters would pick between POG 2020 and the Schlatt-SWAG coalition, it would only make sense, seeing as the coalitions wasn’t something everyone knew about and they only managed a 1% difference, a way too small one. In any case, Wilbur accepts his loss and gives the country to the coalition, which establishes Schlatt as the new president (A further thing to be called undemocratic, as of the two pooling parties, SWAG 2020 got the most votes, meaning that they only won to POG 2020 by 1%, and most of their overall percentage voted for president Quackity).
I want you to see Wilbur’s actual quote immediately before and after saying he’s lost, because people plainly don’t watch this arc and then say that he was undemocratic and didn’t want to give up the presidency unless forced to, which is quite plainly a lie and makes even less sense paired up with the context of how permissive he was beforehand:
“What happens if we lose the nation, Wilbur?” (Tommy)
“Well, then whoever wins takes over, w- what do you mean?” (Alivebur)
- (Tommy’s vod jschlatt gets unbanned from the Dream SMP: 1:45:50, 20th Sep)
–
“Tommy, we’re citizens tonight. Just listen to Schlatt.” (Wilbur’s vid How Schlatt stole the Election of the Dream SMP: 7:58)
He directly declares that they are citizens now, and thus should listen to the new president, who then proceeds to immediately declare the founders of the goddamn nation, the ex-leaders of it, the ones who gave away their power peacefully even when they could’ve reasonably raised concerns about so many things wrong with Schlatt getting to this point, as exiled. Not only that, but he immediately chases them out by demanding people shoot them, which actually makes Wilbur lose a canon life. I cannot explain to you how absurd it is to be mad at the guy who was so permissive and who gave up his power peacefully and always took on what he himself made legal and call him “undemocratic”, when you have Schlatt, who got into the elections way too late anyway, won via a coalition that at least most voters wouldn’t be aware of, became president by taking advantage of the votes for a different party to rule and then his first move in power is to exile and assassinate his political rivals. I cannot fathom the amount of mental gymnastics you’d have to do, really.
“I called for this democratic process, and now he’s ousted me from my government. This- I’m fucking speechless, I’m speechless.” - (Wilbur’s the election results: 26:12, 22nd Sep)
–
“We gave up literally everything for L’Manberg. We gave up friendships, we gave up alliances with some of the most powerful people on this server. And now we’ve just- And everything we earnt in that sacrifice has been lost in one moment. Everything we earnt has been lost.” - (Wilbur’s the election results: 31:33, 22nd Sep)
Then, Schlatt gets people to burn the flag and tear down the walls (The walls which directly correlate to and represent Wilbur’s ultimate goal of keeping his people safe)
“What has made you do everything you’ve done up to this point?” (Quackity)
“That’s a- That’s a big question. Um. I guess it’s just protection for my people. I mean, I- I- I just want to see them thrive, and I want to see them safe.” (Alivebur)
- (Quackity’s Killing My Enemies: 1:03:02, 12th Apr)
–
“This isn’t- This isn’t- I’m not gonna be able to do anything to stop them tearing down the walls. I just need to have one- I’m doing this for principle, I’m doing this for tradition. I need to just have one last look, TommyInnit. I need to look at it one more time before it’s gone.” - (Wilbur’s the election results: 38:18, 22nd Sep)
–
“No, I need to- I need to watch this, I need to- This was- This is a huge part of my- I need to, I need to- It would be- It’s like not turning up to a funeral.” - (Wilbur’s the election results: 39:21, 22nd Sep)
–
“My son… My son is tearing down the walls, in front of me! My son is tearing down the walls in front of me! The walls I built to keep him safe! I promised him this world, Tommy, I promised him this world.” - (Wilbur’s the election results: 39:41 22nd Sep)
–
“L'Manberg, my unfinished symphony! My great unfinished symphony… is being torn down in front of my eyes.” - (Wilbur’s the election results: 40:04, 22nd Sep)
And Wilbur, as he grows understandably bitter at the fact that his country, which he tied so tightly to himself and through which he expressed his ideals and desire for safety got taken over and twisted, the walls taken down, the expansion of territory which he knew would likely result in further wars with the greater Dream SMP, which would in turn only harm the people further, his own family and friends actively going against his every wish only to survive under Schlatt (which he understands, but also starts to distrust further down the line, becoming more convinced that the people will simply just follow the one with most power, and with him being powerless and unable to provide anything of value, he’s virtually worthless, as he sees that people seem happy under Schlatt’s rule for a while) and he himself and his right hand man being exiled, chased out, and in his case killed, starts questioning whether wanting to overthrow Schlatt is a morally damning thing, whether they’re the bad guys for wanting L’manburg back at all instead of letting the “democratic” (which it wasn’t really for all the reasons listed above) process be. He starts tearing himself up not because he “lost his mind” as the fandom so awfully likes to put it, but because he’s unsure he has any moral ground to stand on as well being influenced further by his old war trauma, his self-worth issues which have been present for a while at this point, and his eventual paranoia caused by perceiving life under Schlatt to be pretty good actually, while he further sees himself as worthless and his goals as inherently immoral and unjustified, even if that isn’t logically the case:
“Tommy, I’ve got a question for you, right. Because this festival, this is a good idea, this doesn’t seem like a bad like, this doesn’t seem evil. You know? This seems like a nice friendly thing Schlatt’s doing. Tommy, are we the bad guys?” - (Wilbur’s who are you go away: 1:08:14, 8th Oct)
–
“‘Cause, I mean, we were the, we just kinda made ourselves the leaders, and then, and now we had a vote, and he won, in a coalition government, which was completely legal, and now we’re trying to overthrow him. It feels like we’re the bad guys, Tommy. This doesn’t feel correct.” - (Wilbur’s who are you go away: 1:08:34, 8th Oct)
–
“Look, do you know how long and how much blood was shed to get L’Manberg to the point it was at? You know what would happen if we manage to get L’Manberg back again? More blood would be shed, and we would be the illegitimate rulers of a nation.” - (Wilbur’s video Am I the Villain?: 18:52)
–
“Tommy, am I, am I a bad, am I a villain of this story. Am I the villain in your history?” - (Wilbur’s who are you go away: 1:08:59, 8th Oct)
–
“Tommy, we allowed the coalition. On the day, they said they were gonna make a coalition, and our cockiness, our arrogance got in ahead of us, and we allowed it. We said ‘yes coalition governments are allowed’.” - (Wilbur’s who are you go away: 1:09:35, 8th Oct)
TLDR: When I say that Wilbur cares a LOT, just in general, I mean it, because he cares about his people first and foremost, then his ideals which tie in with his nation, and that involves caring about the democratic process being carried out right and following through with the consequences of his actions (mainly here, him recognizing that they lost because he himself made coalitions legal in the hopes of getting an advantage). He’s not “undemocratic”, he’s more than justified to have felt a lot angrier than he did and to have put more barriers in the entry of the electoral process, and he certainly didn’t “lose his mind”, “become insane”, whatever else of the sort you’d like to say, nor “threw a tantrum”, nor even became immediately outraged at the fact that he was chased out and killed while running away from the country that he himself created by a leader that the people didn’t even really vote for.
