What is that actually holds most sway in this world?

"The world cannot be explained without demonolgy" --Ionesco

Since there are no true rulers, we must ask ourselves what it is that gives structure to our lives. This lack of true leadership has left only those in power open to disassembly. If you watch them, listen to their speeches they state things and then retract them. No one expects them to be infalliable except themselves. which is why they fail. There is no hierogamos between the king/queen and the land. Politics no longer serves the polis.

We demonise the ruler who cannot play house with us. And rather than learning a goetic art we allow them to ensorcel us. Them! Those who would serve us in matters of beareaucracy! As if such things did any good other than complicating our already overloaded lives. In this proximity to this latter empire we eagerly await an aftermath to pointless piles of paper and endless media saturation. If content is void, void is content.
