The astute among them would draw parallels between them and the crystal ponies, and those with kinder hearts would try to extend the same courtesy.
.... Security, is all I shall say.
Not in the original fic, though some people believe he got weakened by everything blowing up and goes around and puts bottle caps and other items in random places for people to find. (Mentioned in a conversation from the Big Bads goons.)
All I'm hearing is "PART TWO".
You can try to do everything right and still get worked over by selfish jerks. The struggle is real.
I kind of like how that omake subtly implies their racism. I mean, someone was scandalized at the idea of growing stuff OUT OF DIRT. Something that everyone kind of needs to do, except for pegasi apparently.

Long story short the zebras started the war because of religious/cultural reasons and they were starting to lose and got dispirit.
To be fair it has been a few years since I read the fanfic so the finer details probably have eroded a bit but glad to hear I still got the main points straight.
I wonder if any of the fanfics set in the FO:E setting have a splinter group of the Pegisi Enclave, but they happen to be even stronger to the one that appeared in the original story? Tends to happen in Fallout fanworks for some reason (looking at yu, The Frontier...)
Another aspect might be the resource wars, that was implied to already be in progress when events caused religious/superstitious undertones to pop up...
well one thing you have to remember is that the fic was based off of fallout just as much of mlp. And in Fallout the planet was running out of resources. I mean the reason china attacked Alaska was because it was one of the last oil deposits left on the planet as well as the largest and all that oil was needed just to keep the good old U.S. of A running. Trade wasn't really in the cards as there wasn't enough to trade. In FO:E I believe they turned that into that the world was kinda simultaneously hitting the industrial revolution at the same time so while resources probably weren't gone, no one really knew where to find them or that the demand for these resources was higher then what was being produced so each nation just kinda hoarded what they found and then the cultural/religious thing is what kept the war going and had it escalate.
