What I like about this more than anything is that Juni Ba clearly KNOWS THAT THE LoA IS NOT JUST A FUCKING CULT! They are eco-terrorists first and foremost. It was formed by a man who has witnessed how humans ravage the earth and decided that the only solution was drastic population reduction (similar to how Poison Ivy is sometimes written). Their goal is to preserve the earth, the cult-ish stuff is secondary and imo mostly a result of Ra's demanding absolute loyalty from everyone (to the point of even trying to make his own daughter kill the man she loved), a means to an end (in order to ensure loyalty), and his own ego. So yeah, to say that they would HATE billionaires and the elites who hoard their wealth to further strip the world of its resources and pollute it in order to further fill their own pockets...is an understatement. I hate when people write them as ONLY an assassin cult as if that's the only thing there is to them. I hope that in the next issue we get to see more of the environmentalist side of the LoA, this line just gave me way too much hope lmao
#society is healing from the 'they won't let Damian have pets' bullshit#which was probably the dumbest bullshit imaginable tbh. like?? they are an eco-terrorist organization?? and you think they wouldn't#ENCOURAGE their heir to take the time to bond with a pet and learn how to be responsible for it.#and even if you want to take it in the MOST uncharitable and indoctrination-y direction they would STILL want him to#have a pet and bond with it so that they can use that bond as fuel to get him to want population reduction in order to protect nature#also I cannot wait to see the full Talia design in Juni Ba glory jfc I love everything that man draws#that guy made me like the RR costume what the hell#also I am grossly oversimplifying how the LoA's environmentalism works + only going with a singular interpretation#so please actually read their earlier comics and come to your own conclusions about them because how different people read them#is FASCINATING when it isn't tinged by the Morrison version. I myself read them differently back before I worked through my#religious trauma (cult shit hit different back then) and then shifted again after realizing how much billionaires contribute to#climate change compared to the rest of us regular ass people (making me dislike the population-reduction aspect more)
