It’s not true under endless suppression from a tyrant either.

@Heroic

Either way, removing the leadership can make every life worse without giving any opportunity to the ones who had any to begin with.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I feel like you’re leaking into a different issue. Everyone has the power to go and make a change in a vacuum.

@Heroic

In a vacuum left by a disrupted society? That's just not true.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Everyone can take advantage of opportunities equally. Some people just make choices to not.

@Heroic

You don't have equivalent starting positions.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Everyone is put under the same set of circumstances and given the opportunity to influence the world around them.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

And how good do you think that skill of yours is?

@Heroic

Nobody has the same circumstances as the people around them.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Dane: it takes personal experience. Listening is only half the battle.

@souleaterfan320

What's the other half?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I like that mentality.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It absolutely can.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Glad to see you’re still here.

@Heroic

How?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Well, that’s nice and understanding of them.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Personal experience to what?

@Balance

Like I said, most people I've visited are nice.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

No, but I am giving it indiscriminately and universally. This is all hypothetical anyway.

@Heroic

It's not given equally to everybody. It can't be.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It could happen. You never know. But I did say “try” to kill me.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Yeah, I’m happy, and I don’t think anyone’s getting hurt. Except for deliberate, powerful supporters of tyrannical reigns when I’m around.

@Balance

They never tried either.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

When I also gave equal opportunity to the opposite.

@Heroic

You're not giving an opportunity to a monolith, you know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Exactly. Someone else was stupid.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

At least you openly admit it’s not all of it.

@Heroic

Through the opportunity that you gave them.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Ignore? That’s not my experience. There are a lot of cultural gaps that it’s easy to stumble over. If they can tell you’re a foreigner, though, they’re usually nicer about mess-ups. Unless they try to kill you.

@Balance

I've never been killed because I didn't understand someone's culture.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I mean, I think most are. People just want to be known. Among other things.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Nah, my memory’s still sitting pretty. Most of me is still fine.

@Balance

I agree. The differences they mostly ignore.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Ending a tyranny only opens up opportunities. That’s my action. Using those opportunities and liberties to be stupid and ruin everything again is not.

@Heroic

It's not always their fault. You open a power vacuum and someone else takes advantage of the weak to fill it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It can’t.

@Heroic

What makes you say that?
