Is it really a problem that the members of the Scions agree with thier organization's own ideology? (Which again, is less about universal republicanism and more to do with international cooperation and collaboration.)
I would imagine that if you're inherently skeptical of "globalization" as a concept, the Circle's ideals would seem annoying. And considering that the demand a few pages ago was for "more isolationist" countries like Hingashi or old Ishgard, I think that's precisely what the "problem" is.
