Quote:If this were a freedom fighter type of conflict I would be on the side of the wesen. Who the heck willingly wears the yoke of oppression. The peaceful demand for civil rights could be made by the wesen population, and freely given by those outside the protesting group in recognition that it's the right thing to do - by using a country's legal system to get it done. Wesen have been operating within the societal system as long as have the kehrsiete and it would be an arduous task, but it would be the right way to go about change. But the engine driving this uprising, imo, is retribution. Not a righteous demand for recognition of the constitutional guarantees accruing to all citizens born in their various countries, but the absolute resolve to take what they want by force. That's a textbook definition of war.That is an idealistic view. All gains for freedom have come with the shedding of blood. That changes are able to be made within the system only exist because of blood shed in the past. You point out demand for recognition of the constitutional guarantees. Our constitution has proclaimed all people guaranteed equal rights. Yet from the day it was drafted that has not been true. Even today there are groups of people still dying to the right to be considered equal. I say dying i am not only referring during demonstrations, but I also include the deaths because a certain group refuses to hide who they are.
The idea of dominating or subjugate a group of people is exactly what each political party is doing. Each side feels the other side is persecuting them for their beliefs. Both sides are dealing with ideas that determine life and death.
As with all modern conflicts the solution will be a compromise. The reason we no longer fight for something. The fight is for an idea. You can't beat and idea. As long as one person lives so does the idea. If you are fighting for something then you have somewhere to plant your flag and clam it as yours. If does not matter how many people want what you are fighting for. Only one side can own it.
