Can we not? I would really like to think we are better than blaming people for their parents' actions.
Ok, Russia is currently only reason Earth didn't suffer total ecosphere collapse. For all the mad and murderous stuff her dad did, she represents best of his influence on the world.
I would take a Russian implosion over the current warlord any day.
If she had a conscience, she wouldn't be an active collaborator. She isn't some naive ingenue who doesn't know what she's doing. She's a willing member of Alexander's butchers who really wishes he'd be a bit less obvious about it.
Atlanta got deliberately nuked by Russian patsies. We won't be doing that. Also, I bet that the entire world put together could pull together enough commandos to do that.
Sara Goldblum:
Again, I personally don't feel like rolling the dice that Russian collapsing would definitely have nothing bad happen to us.
Pointless grandstanding. This literally helps no one.
I am now picturing the three of them holding instruments of torture (or really just random things they found in the kitchen, including a cheese grater), while shouting:
I would take warlord's reculant daughter instead of watching environment spiral into a hot hellhole, majority of humanity dying off and biosphere suffering expanded die-off without concentrated efforts to stop the Collapse 2.0: It's Re-Collapsing Deeper.
That's a fair point. My mental impression of her was someone content to do their own thing while ignoring the blood and murder it took to let her do so, but it seems Kat genuinely hates her father's entire enterprise.
Holy mother of pearl, I'm getting strong Nexus vibes a la Dune. I hope we have a quizat haderach lying around somewhere to navigate this quagmire.
Her options are: 1) work with her father to try and make the world a less-shitty place, and possibly prevent gigadeaths, and 2) do nothing, and fail to reign in her father's excesses at all. Get off your high horse, and stop treating "pragmatism" as an obscenity.
Completely incorrect.
Oh, I see, so collaborationism is "pragmatism", is it? She's guilty of enabling every single one of her father's crimes, because she's essentially the only person in that entire mess without the excuse of "I feared for my life" for why she stood by and did nothing.
She knows.
She doesn't fear for her life from Alexander. I would be surprised if, without his protection, she would last a week.
The collapse of the Russian warlord state and the deaths of its leadership is a major, long overdue quest goal- and are you hearing yourself? An empress taking a "concillatory" position after the deaths the regime she was an active member of caused? The ill-gotten empire that inherently legitimizes the sort of authoritarian monarchist obscenity Alexander created?
It's almost as if the regime she's associated with has done things that warrant death and that a good person would have left years ago, "but it's for the ecosystem" be damned.
In the context of her being mildly concerned about mass murder and crimes against the world. Yes, clearly we're dealing with a moral paragon and not, say, one of Alexander's enablers who we have to blame for Vichy states on the American continent.
Alright, how about instead of keeping on with this line of screaming about people being bad for the things they do, you tell us what exactly Katherine should have done, that would make any sort of appreciable difference?
whats iirc mean iv seen it all over the place and cant find out
