Has it ever struck you how stupid the knights are?

Todd doesn't know what a rhinoceros is and how to say it, doesn't know how to count and is very happy to have a big sword (canonically to compensate), two knights prefer to discuss otters in the middle of a fight while their opponents are dangerous and beating them up (in fact, one of them has an arm in a cast because of an otter. How? I don't know ), Todd thinks that Ballister escaped the subway thanks to a small whale, makes a butt joke about a scene that he himself describes as a tragedy, thinks he has a chance against a huge creature - which takes missiles almost without flinching - only to finally run away screaming like a little girl and run into another knight himself and end up in the background, etc...

Most of these feats are the work of Todd, who is particularly stupid. But is his idiocy really that exceptional? Aside from Ambrosius, no one points his stupidity which he demonstrates in public and even in front of their superior. Who doesn't give a damn about it even when it happens multiple times.

They are also extremely classist, shallow, cruel and limited. Todd publicly harasses the best knight in their class under the pretext of he's a commoner, and not only does no one defend him (except Ambrosius) but everyone laughs and encourages him. Knights have taken Ballister's arm by force, which is a big NO, you don't steal other people's limbs. They have repeatedly beaten up Ballister who was not in a position to defend himself (they did not even arrest him since he was able to leave each time to save Nimona). They have extreme contempt for the commoners they are supposed to protect, whom they do not protect at all during Nimona's "attack" (only Ambrosius does that)

So the question is: how can they have gigantic statues in their honor? What did they do to deserve this? What could have motivated using probably public money to create these statues instead of putting it elsewhere?

There were never any monsters to fight so they didn't protect the Kingdom (not in a "grandiose" way like for the attack on Nimona, where they did nothing except destroy everything), some places are completely abandoned and people eat rats. The social classes have extremely obvious differences in treatment and the knights clearly do nothing since they prefer to harass Ballister.

The Knights as a whole, since the begining, is a gigantic, useless scam

I HATE MORAL OCD. well i shouldnt say hate thats a strong word. and i dont want to sound like i hate people WITH moral ocd because i dont of course. i just hate having it. but i shouldnt think that, i do like having morals, its just stressful to be thinking about them so constantly and scrutinizing every little thing i do or think. but really thats the least i could do so i should at least try, right? just because i suffer from— no, struggle with moral ocd doesn’t mean i should just stop thinking about things all together, thats not what im saying and i should make that clear, but i

Text ID: I observe how much I have matured since last year despite my belief that I was losing myself, how something strong was born from the painful experiences survived and from the numerous minutes that I believed were wasted.
