It's almost as if being near symbols of centralized authority makes you want to pose and sit in them and stuff.
When I was in high school I represented my school at something called the "parliament of youth" or something like that. Because I live in the capitol of my country this was held in the premises of our actual parliament. Parliament itself was on break, so no politicians were there and we just got to use the actual location we'd seen on TV where they vote about laws and stuff. I was very much a liberal teenager, and also pretty shy, so I did not actually speak or anything, but when we had our lunch break they told us to "find a place to eat". I think they meant the cafeteria or somewhere, but at that moment I was left alone in my country's version of the senate hall while everyone else shuffled off to wherever they meant. There was pretty much no security inside, since the security at the entrance had been so heavy and no one important was actually there at the time.
I ate my lunch in the speaker's chair in the center of our parliament. I farted in the chair and dribbled mustard all over the microphone (turned off during lunch break). Since we were allowed pen and paper I could have done something a bit more important like leaving a note in the literal center of power for my country. I would have gotten away with it. But since I was like 15 or 16 at the time I of course didn't think of that. I do still get to enjoy the feeling whenever I see footage from our parliament of knowing that the speaker is sitting in my farts and speaking into my drool. If I got the opportunity again today I would probably have a slight panic attack and try to do something relevant, but I would still fart all over that seat.
TL;DR I'm a taliban and a trump supporter and a comunist, or maybe sitting on the throne when it's right there is just something anyone will do given the opportunity and them doing it means nothing.
