The WOL and Mass Murder

[Dzonathan]

Hydaelyn shot first.

The Ascians then tried to fight back and retake their stolen world.

Odd that Hydaelyn never told her footsoldiers what started the war.

I used to believe that too but then I gave it a bit more thought.

The real issue was not that the civilizations grow nihilistic and suicidal overtime.
The real issue was that they grow powerful enough to see their nihilism through.

At worst, a nihilistic cavemen is just going to run around, bonk other random cavemen and then get himself bonked to death. The life in the universe wont die and the rest will move on and find happiness in life.
At worst, a nihilistic ancient is going to create a universe destroying bird loli and then just runs off back to his corner to keep brooding. The life in the universe will die and the rest will not move on and find oblivion in death.

If Venat had enough smarts to present the issue as ancients being suicidal nihilists who were too powerful for their own good then she wouldn't had to hide the truth from everyone.
