#despite the seflish enabling of the squid game

The sheer pessimism, dare i say negativity, surrounding Seong Gi-hun and his ideologies are crazy! The system got you! Its making you think we have to compete with their views and logic, but no, just because Song gihun let people die before the coup doesn't mean the front man was right.

People like Inhun view the systems as either necessary, or believe they can become the hero and gain power at the top. They are people who will uphold the system, no matter what, because they can climb the ladder and win. So they view Seong gi-hun as naive. Its naive to care about people. Its naive to try and help eachother. Its naive to want change.

But the thing is, we all know that violence is necessary in revolution. We also know that some people who should be your fellow man, make themselves bigots and agressors where it's Needed to fight back. But like the O players, fighting those people aren't our priority when it comes to revolution. They are not the point, the point is to beat the systems that enabled them to prioritize themselves above all else. Seong gi hun understood that there was no justice in killing the O players. And to the x players who got killed, it is Inhun who made seong gi hun the hero from Day One, and viewed him responsible for them. But Seong gi hun never pushed himself as a hero, he always viewed that his actions come from love. He Cares about people, viscerally so. He cares to the point of his own detriment. He couldn't live a normal life knowing people were suffering. Doesn't that sound familiar to you right now with the state of our world? It's a common thought shared right now thats its hard to continue living like its normal everyday while knowing how many injustices there are around the world. That is what Seong gi hun was going through but the suffering was in his backyard. He had to go back because he cared. Not to be a hero, not to save the day. But to do whatever he could to help and save other people. And as unfortunate and cruel as it sounds, it was not his responsibility to save the x players. He's not a hero. He's just a man trying to bring down a fucked rigged system, and he understood that realistically, there will be sacrifices to achieve that revolution. Non-glorious and unfair sacrifices. It's a common manipulative tactic that oppressors equivalent any disruption in the name of revolution to be as just as cruel as their systems actions to play a moral and ethics game. Fuck them and their game.

Its the sheer naivety of the frontman to believe that fighting together and for a system that doesn't abuse us means a Fairy tale knight in shining armor. Its takes pragmatism, sacrifice, violence, and strategy to win. It takes a group efforts where lives will be lost, but not in vain or irresponsibly, unlike how capitalism kills us and destroys our bodies for trivial and meaningless reasons. Its not black and white, but the Frontman sees it as such.

Seong gi hun is not meeting inhun where hes at in his argument about their opposing ideologies because seong gi-hun deosnt have to. He doesn't have to engage into a discussion on the frontmans terms. On the systems terms. The whole point is to break them. To walk away from their talking points and create actual physical change. The Frontman is naive in his ideology, not Seong gi-hun
