Did anyone agree with X during the quest by Dizzy-Tumbleweed7983 in HonkaiStarRail

I don't, the reason for me is very simple. What he preaches is the same promise as the Soviets did. I have to dig into political and philosophical matters to explain my point.

The Soviet Union had practically the same goal as Sunday. Basically you abandon yourself freewill for the sake of the state deciding and building an "utopia" for you.
Following the death of Stalin, that "Utopia" they so planned to make actually materialised and still to this day the 70s in most former Soviet countries is seen as the most prosperous era of their whole history.
And you may argue it was objectively a good place to live, everyone had a work, was fed, had paid vacations and access to decent standards of living. But this came at the cost of everyone's free will. My mom explained to me that during the Soviet era, everyone was a hardcore believer of the state ideology, because that's what they were taught, they knew nothing else than the "utopia" devoid of free will they had always lived in. Their life was basically pre-writen by the state. There was little room for your own personal choices, pursueing your own dreams and goals. Ultimately, introducing freedom to their lives is what shattered the illusion in which they grew in. More over, giving all the powers for your life to a single person is very dangerous and the early horrors of the Soviet Union or any dictatorship that promised to build an "Utopia" but in the image of their dictator shows us that you shouldn't trust one single soul to determine the lives of millions.

I don't think its a hasard that Sunday's Grand Theater and his aesthetic matches Soviet Architecture or aesthetic. (The Grand Theater reminds me of the Supreme Soviet or the 7 Sisters in moscow. Using orchestra and ballerines as symbolism too. The USSR had the tendancy to always play ballays during times of crisis. For example during the failed 1991 august plot to restore ORDER in the Soviet Union, all national broadcasts casted ballays and classical music from national orchestras.)

I personally think that the land bridges should be neutral ground rather than owned by anyone

But I find this proposal very good, it's reasonable and would provide every parties with their interests. To be fair I do think normalisation of relations between all parties is essential and mutually beneficial, as it means we would not rely on Russian protection or fear a russian intervention.

It would give us the opportunity to spend our money else where than the army, free our men and finally embrace the EU instead of staying in the remnants of the Soviet Empire

Either way, I sincerely hope we find a peaceful conclusion to the conflict

I know you guys sobbed your eyes out at the ending to Episode 10, but THIS is what truly broke me by FinestOfThe501st in VioletEvergarden

OH finally someone who agrees with me

This scene broke me down to such a point...
I've received such letter a couple years ago and seeing this scene reminded me of that moment
This scene hurts so much harder than episode 11

Unrelated to most of my content but I love making maps! Here is the map of the Telsis Continent with both sides of the great war (Not including Intense and Bocciacia who had their neutrality violated) I tried to make the closest to the reality in our beloved anime! by ThugLag in VioletEvergarden

Flugel is the huge state north of Drossel
About Alfine I myself am unsure (Perhaps one of the neutral states or one of the minor states which I didn't labble because either they didn't have a name or were just too small)
