Politics

If we were starting a coup and installing a dictator that would be one thing, but the current monarch is stepping down and allowing his 4 heirs to compete against each other for the throne. As a monarchy, the people have no say in what goes on regardless whether we were involved or not and if you think it is in their own best interest that a warmonger take the throne and start a world war, you are delusional.

We're not "investigating" we've agreed to compete in a contest to put a stranger in power for a free boat ride. The fact you have to downgrade our actions to "investigating" proves my point that what we're doing is both unwise and unethical.

We don't know if we're installing a dictator or not because we know nothing about her besides she's pretending to be braver than she is except when it comes to eating sus meat, she's very brave when it comes to that.

And again, we don't even know if the random person we're installing isn't a warmonger herself. We're not "protecting" anyone from anything by using our nuclear level power to influence politics in a region we've never even seen.

And please don't call me delusional. How people get away with insulting me so much on this forum is ridiculous.

It’s one thing to disagree based on the lore of what is actually in the game. It’s another to put a personal spin on it and go straight into phrases meant to start a fight like “Venat’s fascist agenda” and “doing a colonialism”.

I've already explained in great detail why I believe murdering a group deemed as "weak" so that you can take their resources, their planet, their aether, their souls and giving it to a group you deem as "strong" is fascist. I can't simply decide to see it another way because that's not how belief works. I could be convinced, but people here are far more likely to resort to personal attacks than offer any perspective I haven't considered that would actually change my mind. I've already learned from past debates that to come to the same conclusion as you I'd have to hold several believes that not only contradict with my core values but contradict with each other. And I'm literally incapable of that. No one can decide to believe something they don't for the comfort of those around them. The best I could do is shut up about it and don't worry, the personal attacks will get me there soon enough.

Its funny as Hell and complete irony that people are having issue with the WoL and the scions getting involved in another regions politics. This is not the first time they have done this kind of thing. Its laughable how people are acting like this now about it.

While there have been instances of the WoL behaving unethically in the past, those didn't happen right after EW. The whole "the WoL is so special they are worth the lives of billions" has made me a tad sensitive to future actions. Like okay, Venat just *had* to set up billions of people to die horribly so we could be created because we were needed to save the universe, sure... Well what now? Well now we take that power bought with immeasurable suffering and set up puppet governments in foreign lands...

Really? That's really where we're gonna go with this? It's like the game is trying to get me to side with Amon at this point...
