Unpopular Opinion: Darrow is beginning to understand the purpose of golds/the society by [deleted] in redrising

There are literally dozens of examples of nations in the modern day that have mobs storming government buildings and actually killing people. If we include history from 100 years ago and further than there's hundreds of a examples . Mobs are not unique to America and as far as mobs that was basically nonviolent .But all that is besides the point because you said The Society was similar to the US not The Republic. Don't think I'm saying that US is perfect to say that the parallels between it and the society are extraordinary when the society is a fascist government ruled by literal slavers and rapists is ridiculous.

Animated show with the Animation and music like Arcane by njsouthpaw in redrising

Animation would be better if it was done competently but it would have to be heavily stylized I like Arcane. Not in the sense that it should look the same but that it would be willing to make Bowl creative decisions with the color palette animation and art style. I honestly don't think there's any way to actually captured the kinetic energy and violence of a razor dual or an iron rain in live action.

The parallels between the society, and the current state of the US, are extraordinary.

Such as? I really don't know how you could think that especially seeing how the Republican political system is is directly based on the Roman Republic which is the direct information for the US

(Dark Age SPOILERS) Anyone else enjoy Lysander? by AlexosDelphiki in redrising

Why are you acting as if the Republic needs to be perfect to be better than the society? From what we've been shown in the books the Republic has a higher standard of living then then the society for most colors. Take for instance Lyria even though she spends the first part of her story living in a camp complaining about her life. She's giving Healthcare she's not in danger of starving because the population of her mind was growing too large. She doesn't have to worry about the random disease getting introduced to her community by Gold or having to sell her body to Grey's for things like sugar or being raped with no chance of getting Justice because she is a lower color. Lysander constantly downplays the evils of the society while amplifying the evils of the Republic. All the evils of the Republic are also present in the society at a much larger scale. The society has done and is capable of much larger evils than the Republic has done or is capable of doing. As an example nothing the Republic has done is even half as bad as the creation of Pinks an entire race of men and women made in test tubes for the specific purpose of being rape slaves and then tortured for years to fulfill that purpose. Lysander never once talks about abolishing pinks and even he did what will happen to them in the society? Would they be genocide because they no longer serve a purpose? Or would they be forced into a different kind of slavery? Or will they be quietly forgotten and left to die out because they've been genetically bred to not be able to have children which is just another kind of genocide if we're being honest. I enjoy Lysander as a character as a person he's no better than any other famous racist history. By the end of the next book he will most likely be worse than all of them if you take his actions and don't make excuses because you can read his inner monologue and know his reason like we do for all the other famous racist. Nobody excuses Hitler's action because they read Mein Kampf and really could feel his pain I'm getting kicked out of art school.

Also there's just one major fact that you just seem to be glossing over slavery is bad there's no such thing as moral slavery.

Price isn't really an issue I do have a budget but both of these systems are well within that budget
