The point I'm making is that whatever skeletons may be in Eorzea's closet don't excuse the Garlean Empire's actions. ("Yeah, it's true the Garlean Empire acts with unprovoked aggression against Eorzea... but what about Ul'dah using zombie powder on Sil'dih?")

This "logic" doesn't solve a problem or win an argument; it just incenses the people on the other side and purposefully muddies the issue.

Now please, continue. Without the faulty "logic" / propaganda tool, if you please.

You’re free to leave if it bothers you, again it seems like when people point out flaws on the Eorzea side, people try and defend it blindly. Way to stifle discussion though, congratulations on that. My points anyways, were in regards to people mentioning specific things Garlemald has done and Eorzea doing the same. Perhaps you should go back and read it instead of trying to come in without any prior knowledge. Just food for thought. It isnt even an argument anyways, its just more of a debate which is a nice discussion. No reason to stifle it lol.
