At that point saying that they have no choice is absolutely correct because the expanded explanation states the same exact conclusion.
To argue otherwise is simply being pedantic.
It's been hinted to blatantly stated that taking main blackbirds enough times would get us intel on our neighbors, so quite possible. Around when we first got them, I believe, if you want to check.
We keep on super advancing our society and having to deal with the fallout so we haven't had the luxury of pursing such endeavors though.

No, they do have a choice. They are capable of choosing. That they are not allowed to is irrelevent.
That is the point. That people who aren't slaves can effectively be enslaved without actually being formally be made a slave.

I'm pretty sure we've never done an into the wild trade mission, and as for the sailing mission we did, it was specifically directed at rumors of the metal workers in the west. It was not a 'go see what you can see'

Legality of slavery/formality has little to do with being unable to make a choice however you try to wrangle it.
The ultimate conclusion, if we don't talk past one another for a few pages while we violent agree in different languages, is that everyone is in the end a slave at one point or another to someone or something. That might be the depression talking.

That is actually my view, and has been so for quite some time, actually.

That's one of my favorite outlooks on life. It's also what the Ymaryn try to do when you reduce them to base components.

Maybe if both of you define your terms, the debate will go smoother? It feels like you are talking past each other.

As far as I understood the quest, that attitude netted us the 'life sucks here, let's move over to these nice people who don't make it their hobby to kill our man and rape our woman.' actions/events.

Life is like children's sports. Your parents sign you up without asking you despite knowing damn well that everybody involved is going to hate it.
Selfish bastards.

What I see that out look DocMatoi has is anti-nihilist.
nihilism
noun
1.
total rejection of established laws and institutions.
2.
anarchy, terrorism, or other revolutionary activity.
3.
total and absolute destructiveness, especially toward the world at largeand including oneself:
the power-mad nihilism that marked Hitler's last years.
4.
Philosophy.
- an extreme form of skepticism: the denial of all real existence orthe possibility of an objective basis for truth.
- nothingness or nonexistence.
(sometimes initial capital letter) the principles of a Russianrevolutionary group, active in the latter half of the 19th century,holding that existing social and political institutions must be destroyedin order to clear the way for a new state of society and employingextreme measures, including terrorism and assassination.
6.
annihilation of the self, or the individual consciousness, especially as anaspect of mystical experience.
Antinihilism I see as taking this and say if it has no meaning why not make it all around better?

Like the players making choices they soon regret, his presence to point that out before and after the fact has become a constant companion in my quests. My rarest treat is to catch him off guard.
