i really do love this debate when i was in school we talked about good and evil
we grow up learning that democracy, freedom and human rights are good and oppression hatred prejudice is wrong so when where asked a question who are the good guys we automatically chose the republic because that's how we where raised
now look at it from someone who grew up as a imperial citizen, they are going to say that the republic is evil and the empire is good because that's how they where raised
right and wrong, good and evil are all just a point of view passed down from one generation to the next with each new generations views change what once was wrong is now accepted and what once was ok is now wrong
50 years ago it was ok to be prejudiced against people for colour sexuality faith and creed now its illegal to discriminate someone for these reasons
things can go the other way too it only takes fear to change the opinion of the masses and all the above can become accepted once again its happened before and will most likely happen again its human nature
P.S if i have come off as a crazy anti democracy freedom person i did not mean to im all for freedom
