The origin of the White Fang is absolutely bananas. Blake recalls its original purpose to be a symbol of peace between humans and faunus, a notion so vague it's literally meaningless, but who the fuck names a peace organization White Fang? Why not something like the White Dove or Open Arms, something that actually brings to mind the idea of peace?

And here's another little thing that ShawLuna can't help but trip over: historically, those who prefer revolutionary tactics do not boot out a pacifist leader once their rationale becomes the popular one. They just make their own group, like the Black Panthers or the Hindustan Socialism Republic Association. This happens pretty often and the groups almost always are critical of each other's methods, but they coexist rather than take over

But doing that would mean that they would've had to write multiple groups with complex ideologies towards overcoming an equally complex obstacle, so one group turned sUpEr eViL is all we get

#rwde #been trying to look more into the hsra but a lot of the sources skip over what they achieved to get straight into critivism #probs bc ghandi himself wrote them in condemnation #i found one site that said his lackluster attempt to sway the gov from giving the leaders the death penalty earned him a lot of ire #mainly from the youth which were overwhelmingly the populace of the hsra #now that i think abt it the youths usually are the revolutionary types whilst the elders take the more pacifist approach #theres gotta be some interesting factors that go into which side of the spectrum a person leans towards #fun fact: this shit took nearly 4 hours to write bc my job this week is absolute ass and im going to turn my boss into a worm on a string
