"Innocent"? Please, the mere fact that they exist and do nothing to change their state of affairs makes them guilty. I had been advocating for a violent Revolution in this thread before, but I've reconsidered my stance on that issue. That apathetic biomass of filth doesn't deserve freedom and eqality. There's no hatred in their hearts, no burning desire to eradicate the evil bitches, no fire in their eyes. "Apathy is death. Worse than death, even, because at least a corpse serves as a food for the worms." (Kreia, KotoR 2).But when Tess slips us absolutely innocent people (like that old man from the K1 zone) or the guy and two girls from the scene on Juliette's yacht (dom route), that's when the psychological pressure and mental torment starts. And the question of morality and ethics comes into full swing.
How difficult on the moral side will be the trials at the upcoming show - we'll see. Personally, I've decided to try to help everyone reach the finale, but if KaneDom has no choice but to sacrifice any of them, well, ‘this is the way’. Tough times call for tough decisions.
We don't know, not heard anything nor are there any future hints in the walkthrough. Guess we shall see, though I could see it happening (or at least some training) depending on romance/faction situation going forward. In my experience, Tess rarely writres meaningless dialogue.Will be a way to get Kane be trained as an assassin by Kiyomi?.because it only was said twice, Kiyomi says it to Kane and another she says it to Olivia but is never mentioned again yet
We've been through this before. A race of chosen masters and a race of slaves. It ended in millions of casualties and World War II. About these people not doing anything and not rebelling. How many successful uprisings do you know of that took place in Nazi camps during WW2? I only know of 5 and I can't say they were all successful. You can read the outcome of these uprisings in the online Holocaust Encyclopaedia."Innocent"? Please, the mere fact that they exist and do nothing to change their state of affairs makes them guilty.

Compare those sad sacks of crap to our glorious Juliette - she knows what she wants from life and we can see that in her eyes (ah, those beautiful cold, gray eyes). When she tells you she's going to "devour" you - you belive her. Do you honestly think those pathetic "good guys" (worms) - Otto, Junko, good subby Kane and Co - will do what it takes when the time comes? Of course not, they will choke on the first hard decision they have to make. All I see are soft, weak slabs of meat for Jules to enjoy grilling. And my Kane will be right there with her, putting more coals into the fire.
But we ARE quite literally a breed of chosen masters. That's the whole point of the Gambit - to create an Ubermensh (Kane + worthy sister = superior child). A comparison with WW2 Germany is an incorrect one though, because the germans had a racial ideology at the heart of their regime, with particular groups (jews, slavs, gypsies, mentally deficient, homosexuals etc) being branded "subhuman". At the Joy Facility, on the other hand, you can rise through the ranks if you're skilled enough. They have all sorts of people there - asian, black, bisexual girls etc. It's more of an anarcho-capitalist dystopia than national-socialist totalitarianism.We've been through this before.

Well we know they aren't, not even Dominique's if we recall our 'work assignment' with her.Edit: As for all the slaves being monitored - unless there's a sophisticated AI dedicated to this task, it's impossible. You'd need an absurd amount of security personnel, which is definetly not the case here.

I got a feeling that Tess might've been inspired by works of Nietzshe and Ayn Rand for this particular setting.
Would you rather discuss that weird castration fetish again? I think not. So let's stick to Nietzshe.I'm sorry, but the Simpsons have a meme for everything, in this case an ideal one for those of us who have studied almost nothing about the WW2 or never read the authors mentioned .

A femdom fetish in a femdom game isn't really weird, certainly not weird by comparison.Would you rather discuss that weird castration fetish again? I think not. So let's stick to Nietzshe.
Dozens of drones monitoring a mine network with hundreds or thousands of miners is, to put it politely, a suboptimal counter-insurgency strategy. The replacement time for those drones would be like 2 months given they'd have to operate near constantly. Also if they have and can produce drones in this universe they can also - much more easily and cheaply - produce drone jammers, which would be maximally effective in an enclosed space like a mine.The mines and this room are monitored by dozens of automated drones that are remotely controlled from here as well.
Don't mind the drones, they're perfectly safe for us...they can't harm anyone without a mine worker chip.
You also know what function (one of many) these chips can perform. Yes, it's the electric shock function, the power of which can be turned into killing force with a snap of the fingers. Guards with guns go down there quite rarely, because mining is quite a harmful industry. So taking weapons away from the guards and simply taking over the facility will not work.
In the mines there is total and remote surveillance of every miner and the same remote means that can instantly punish or even kill him. And trained security guards can help too.
Millions of people in every known civilization were enslaved and exploited, yet didn't sweep away their masters. It's a question of social organization, which is one of the many things about this game and story that's not very clear.From what we were shown in the game, I can personally conclude that the security at JF sites is perfectly thought out, otherwise all those millions of people (not only miners, but also other workers) would have risen up long ago and swept away all their masters from Karlsson Group.
Nietzsche? No. There are a few points of similarity with Rand but this society is obviously feudal, not capitalist or fascist. They just call themselves a corporation. Why? Not clear. The correct answer is Sade himself, if Sade got bored of theorizing about perfect revolution and started posting tiktoks.I got a feeling that Tess might've been inspired by works of Nietzshe and Ayn Rand for this particular setting.
Right. That's exactly what I wanted to say (among other things), but didn't expand on my already large post. But the point is that before disparagingly calling people "biomass", which was voiced earlier (hello fascism again), it would be good to study the details of the social organisation of each particular group of people.Millions of people in every known civilization were enslaved and exploited, yet didn't sweep away their masters. It's a question of social organization, which is one of the many things about this game and story that's not very clear.
That's what they have collars for So all the drones and camera's, are actually perfectly optimal for their intended purpose.a suboptimal counter-insurgency strategy.
Hm, slight misundertanding here. I'm not including the society described in this game in the category of something that might work. For example providing food and shelter to miners within the mine itself would be logistical nightmare. Plus most of them would die from exposure to toxins. You'd spend more time hauling out corpses than minerals.The game mentions that miners (as opposed to mine guards) have to spend all their time in the mines, but we also know that many miners have families and even children. So it's not a "concentration camp (Nazi death camp) in its purest form" and all these people have something to hold on to and something to lose in one way or another. This is to the question of why their Masters have not yet been swept away here.
Training and then giving power to the people who hate them would be another reason the society wouldn't work. Empires recruited and deployed their auxiliary forces and institutions at their peripheries, not heartlands.It is also mentioned in the game that children from ordinary (poor) families are taken away from their parents and given a good education and a chance to reach a higher social status than their parents had (remember Karlssom Academy Alumni with their classes for the rich/elite and classes for poor children)...
I get that this is part of a debate with someone else but out of interest, what's the moral distinction here? The game explicitly portrays non-main chars as naturally - not just politically/discursively - inferior to the main chars. You're down with exploring that concept, but calling them 'biomass' is off limits? Sorry, I just thought that was funny.Anyway, we need more data about this world before we start making hasty conclusions or, even more so, contemptuously calling someone "biomass".
Yet that's what actually happens....For example providing food and shelter to miners within the mine itself would be logistical nightmare. Plus most of them would die from exposure to toxins. You'd spend more time hauling out corpses than minerals.
