As long as ponies are ruled by an autocratic monarch they will never be truly free. Sure, princess Celestia has abandoned the use of the Royal Canterlot Voice and has reconciled with her revolutionary sister, but these changes must be seen as purely cosmetic. The reins of power are nonetheless firmly in her hooves. She also sent her student to unwittingly keep tabs on her subjects and report back regularly. This most probably serves the dual purpose of testing how far the princess can push her arbitrary will before the populace grows restless, and keeping tabs on any subversive undercurrents that are uncovered.

But one day ponies will discover that the true power lies within themselves and they will rise up.
And they will fire the Twilight gun.



And the revolution will be televised. Probably in season 8.
