Thread: 3.4 speculation

There's a fine lie between wanting some moral grayness in the story and blatant White Washing of Garlemald and Victim Blaming of well, all there victims. And I feel like Theo falls into the later all the time.

Like, how else can you possibly imply more then once that maybe Ala Mihgo deserved to be subjugated because of the Autumn War, even though there two completely different generations 75 years apart? And Garlemald has the least right of anyone to attack them.

Gaius was there version of a progressive and he was cool with genocide as long as didn't involve crashing a moon into the planet.

Pointing out 20 years of Military Service can get you basic citizenship doesn't work either because it's not the populaces choice if they get conscripted, it's slavery. And even if you rise high like Rhitahtyn there is still the fear your racist soliders will just abandon you to die which is what Gaius' mind IMMEDIATELY jumped to after he died.

Nazi comparisons can be trite, but Garlemald deserves it, there not being based off Archades, there being based off the Gestahl Empire, which literally used the Nazi salute.
