None. Who with the power to write and publish would want to encourage something like this?
Books of history. That's what I'm reading. There are patterns out there that you can see when you look for them - the same old things that drag us back down into violence and hatred.
Which you've already said. Acknowledging it over and over again does not makes a fart of a difference to anyone.
I would agree. There are patterns. Violence often plays a part in those patterns. One king is killed, another man puts on the hat and sits on the chair and starts playing the part, and nothing changes. What about the patterns that have no violence? The transition of power is paid for in coin and favors, more often than it is paid in blood.
How about this. I'll burn down a ruling body and raze the earth and you can move in after that and see if you can teach whoever's left to de-emphasize material wealth.
You might be right. It might be possible, to teach, eventually. But not under current circumstances. Not to those who rule, now. Try telling them to give up their riches so the lower classes can begin to seek cooperation.
Not well. One will always have precedence over the other. A sway, a firmer hold. I cannot be loyal to Anitva if I am loyal to the people, because Antiva will always fuck the people when she has the chance. So I must choose. It is the same with anything.
We want them to appear as vitriolic and as prone toward violence on her behalf as possible. And as opposed to Agathe as we're able. I'll have a general script to be used.

But haven't we got to try? At the very least? To at least think about ways to make real, honest change?
