There is equality and mutual respect to those that work hard in this game. There's no need to fight for anything. If you deserve respect for your work, you usually get that respect.

They're running the show because they do something about it. And there were other AAs that were on top before Umbrella, the Orders and etc. You were probably not here yet or just ignorant.
