...While also worshipping a certain god and evangelizing him to strangers. And waging some kind of weird ideological war with another cult. Oh, I'm sorry, another peaceful support group.

Definitely not a cult. How could I be so silly?

i do not worship him. that's a common misconception. he's a friend and a guide but i don't think of him like i think of God. i just use that name because it's what he likes in public

Well, tell your friendly guide to quit getting people killed. Some of us are trying to study and don't have time for a full-on ideological war.

you don't have to get involved if you don't want to. nobody's forcin you.

Yeah, you're right! Maybe I'll just sit and sip a goddamn martini on my front porch while PEOPLE MURDER EACH OTHER AND BURN SHIT DOWN! That's EXACTLY what I get from "remember I remain a member of this society, with obligations to all my fellow men", you hit the goddamn nail on the head.

Let me put this in nice easy terms for you, pal. I am a doctor. I make people not die. When people die, it is kinda hard for me to "not get involved", you goddamn sociopath!

I AM NOT A SOCIOPATH

for god's sake i don't think it's good that anyone died. i don't think it's right. but i can't

death doesn't work the same here. you know that right. folks die and come back and you remember, you remember every time, and it never gets easier but it sure as hell keeps happenin and i can't sit on my hands and say oh well this whole mess ain't my problem, guess i'll just wait for someone to come along and rip my head off my shoulders again because that's the sort of thing the fog god thinks is funny but god forbid i fight back

Yeah, you're right, there's no way there'll be collateral damage. When have civilians EVER gotten hurt in a war? Praise God Almighty, the scales have been lifted from my eyes, hallelujah!

How about instead of dealing with it by making it worse, you deal with it by ACTUALLY DEALING WITH IT? You know? Helping people? Telling both gods to stuff their little playground squabble and let us get on with our lives? NOT MURDERING ANYONE?

[HhHHHHGHHHHhhhhh why does nobody ever understand]

civilians are goin to die no matter what anyone does considerin we have to kill them to stay alive. which is also not somethin i like just in case you decide to try and vilify me for that too

i've only ever hurt someone who tried to hurt me first. and i'm not goin to apologize for that. i absolutely REFUSE to apologize for just tryin to stay alive in this hellhole

Look, I get it. Just following orders. Or something.

I'm just saying, you didn't get drafted. Nobody's making you take part. Nobody's making you encourage those assholes. This isn't even like the eating-people thing, I don't like it but I'm not going to blame you for needing some Donner party kebab to live. But, hey, maybe don't play their stupid game more than you have to? Just a thought.

i didn't encourage anyone to do anythin. i sure as hell didn't decide it was a good idea to blight half the peninsula. there's no game i'm playing i'm just tryin to help people by fightin back against the fog god in the only way that's actually proven to make a lick of difference

the fourth has resources and power we don't. none of us can touch her but he can. a lot of folks talk a big game about how much they want to stop her but none of them actually do anythin to make it happen because they feel self-satisfied enough just makin sure everybody knows how outraged they are. it's not enough

I swear to Christ, I didn't think I was going to leave the cold war to walk headlong into ANOTHER COLD WAR. Take it from someone on the front lines, pal, linking up with either of the superpowers just turns out badly for everyone. Except these superpowers are ACTUALLY SUPERPOWERED.

there's nothin cold about it. she kidnaps us and changes us and makes us kill people because she thinks its funny and if you think that's not a very active attack you're bein willfully ignorant about this whole mess

Funny thing, you know. Where I'm from, we've been in a cold war for what, five years? Six, seven? And far as I can tell, "kidnapping people" and "making people kill for the hell of it" is pretty much Cold War 101. I bet if you asked her she'd say it's a police action, too.

Don't get on my back about it, I'm not a goddamn political scientist.

me neither.

i just don't see why you're workin so hard to argue that we shouldn't try and take her down if we can. it doesn't matter which war what she's doin looks like to you. it matters that what she's actually doin in the here and now is vile.

Is what he's doing all that much better, though?
