There are no sad ponies in Equestria. Therefore Prinvess Celestia has purged them Equestria. Therefore, Princess Celestia = McCarthy
Therefore, P.C = tyranny = McCarthy. McCarthy must have been a brony. Therefore Republicans are Bronies, therefore Democrats are bronies, therefore the US is bronies, therefore the entire World is brony. It all makes sense now. I have solved the answer to life.

Ponies = Meaning of Life

Therfore:

Bronies = Enlightened ones

Bronies are the monks of a religious order. It only makes sense! We shall establish the Religious Order of Friendship and Harmony.
We shall bring World peace with talk of ponies and tolerance! Who is with me?!

I don't see why not.

Although it'll probably end badly as ideological rifts result in half of the order breaking away due to their love of Rainbow Dash over Fluttershy or something.

(I'm going to preemptively announce my support for the Fluttershyites)

We've already talked about Gilda.

Zecora on the other hoof is more of a minor character. What we could do is organize minor characters into some sort of hierarchy, but in sections such as classes. Zecora would be be in the 1st class along with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and some other ponies. A second class would be created for more background characters, with the exception of Derpy ( she is a part of the mane cast), such as shop owners and other minor ponies with speaking roles. Then a third class for everypony else that didn't get a major role. And of course Celestia and Luna are in the 1st class. Everypony is equal, but some are more equal than others.

I honestly find it surprising how she has fans, especially with how mercilessly the show portrayed her as a dick.

I do not agree with this system. I believe in a classless society where all ponies are equal, no matter how small their role. Where fans of even the most obscure background ponies may sit at the same table as fans of any of the mane cast. Even the Snips and Snails fans will be treated with courtesty, albeit should probably be avoided for... Well... Liking Snips and Snails.

Well, with the exception of Trixie who should be at the top of the totem pole.

All ponies are equal, but some ponies are more Great and Powerful than others.

Snips & Snails are clearly the victims of misandrist propaganda.

And I'm just going to ignore anyone who brings up Braeburn or Silverspoon/ Diamond Tiara as evidence to the contrary, because my penis sez it's misandrist feminism, and my penis is always right.

Hey, Snips and Snails are pretty funny. Plus, they're two thirds of what makes little boys. So, there's that.

Trixie is not the best, she lied about the Ursa Major and made the mane cast look ridiculous in front of the town. Also, Twilight is the greatest wizard pony in all of Equestria (besides Celestia and Luna who can move objects that are thousands and millions of kilometers in circumference, diameter).
