I joined Aum to develop my powers of levitation, but all I got was a stupid gas bombing

Baron: so, disgruntled japanese youths joining Aum. what caused that?
Prince Abubu: economic boom.
Prince Abubu: general postmodernist worldview, really.
Baron: economic boom = "man this is all a load of crap?"
Prince Abubu: Well, more of a "holy crap, we're all materialistic, look at all this money! why are my kids so upset? I'll buy them a new toy!"
Kids: "The world is rotting. Look at all the crime and pollution. Fuck money, I'm gonna get me a religion."
Japan: "welp, we have lots of those, thanks to this handy allied constitution!"
Aum: "Want to levitate?"
Kids: "WAI!"

::EDIT::
Yes, that is the actual title of my term paper.
