So I'm kind of slow and I'm very tired today, you'll excuse me if I'm saying gibberish, but isn't GTVA behavior shivan-like? I mean, unilateral war without warning, without justification (apart from we don't like you)? And if so, could we infer the reasons of the shivans' actions in FS1 and FS2 based upon the reasons of GTVA's actions?
It almost seems to me like a giant school lesson of pain and misery, one which all living beings must succeed in order to get somewhere? "We must teach them that pacifism won't work", says GTVA. "WeÊe♂ mVs┬ t£ach thÕse specÞÆs to defÊnd themselvês", say the shivans.
What a bloody mess. I should get to sleep. Oh, and Laporte gets on my nerves.
