"Yes, there will be wealth gaps. I recognize this. The question is this, do they have to be as they are? Is the increase or decrease of a wealth gap due to men getting their just due or is it because men are taking more than they deserve?"

- Jonathan Cornwal, Orator.

"What is a right, as in, what are these things governments and states and societies promise people, but sometimes take away or replace with other rights? Well, rights don't truly exist... Yes, there's a 'but' right there. But, what is an idea? An idea is a concept that does not have any physical presence, does not effect the world at all. An idea itself doesn't really exist until people take it upon themselves to act upon or on behalf of said idea. And that is a right, concepts, societal promises that exist because people will act for them. Some peoples speak freely because some people decided that all people ought to speak freely and attempted to make it a right. Rights exist because people make them exist and they cease to be when people make them cease. They do not come from laws, governments, states, societies, promises or anything else in existence save people willing to act around them. Rights are created, upheld, abolished and destroyed by people and people alone. Always remember this, this power that all men, benevolent and malevolent, hold on a whim."

- Nestor Debbs, Leader of the Second Gorgashian Revolution.

"Many a man has used the virtue of equality to spread that corrupting thing known as conformity. Do not fall for their lies."

The nation's attitude to education is usually why or why not said nation is able to reach it's true potential. If they cannot reach their true potential, which is easy to spot really, it just simply means the nation's attitude on education simply needs to be reworked. Or even destroyed by force, to make wake for more 'legroom' so that the nation as a whole can reach it's true potential. If they wish not to change, they are good as dying fish in a stagnated pond, be them communist or capitalist. I uphold tradition. But tradition that spits in the face of modernity, civilization, and human progress simply cannot be tolerated and will not be tolerated for the likes of me. It simply does not matter. If the nation refuses education as the foundation of it's society, it should not even exist.

Education is a fundemental foundation of society. Educate the youth to think outside the box is even better. This is where society starts. This is where society blooms to it's full potential.

But you.

You who denies funding to improve the facilities and to make strides in research and development.

You who believe in state controled, spoon-fed propoganda to be taught to the most impressionable of people in your nation.

You who denies your daughter education and sends your sons into a pointless and meaningless life in a sweatshop and thus destroying their hopes and aspirations.

You who allows the person to deny education to their children out of desperation due to your inefficiency and your incapability to realize what is to be a priority.

You, who believes that everything is simply a black and white issue that can be pigeonholed and left to rot in the eternal abyss of stagnation and regression.

I demand of you, to lower your heads in shame. I demand the true justice of this world. To be able to reach one's true potential. We, united as humanity, are to liberate and uphold the foundation of every society from the stigmas of regression and ignorance. The beginning, is right there. The beginning, is education for all to enjoy.

"Transhumanism is the latest fad in the anti-human mindset that has been plaguing humankind possibly since its very inception. It doesn't take very long looking back through history to find that same message repeated over and over by thousands of different individuals, cultures, religions, and ideologies. Christianity taught original sin, guilt by being born human. Buddhism taught that desire was the root of all that was wrong with our existence; our simple evolutionary rooted urges to keep us alive - the ultimate evil. The totalitarians preached to us that the only worth of being human was unending service to their re-branded deity. Now, the transhumanists have arrived bearing the same message, 'humanity is a disease and we alone have the cure!'

Having learned from their predecessors mistakes, they proclaim their love for humanity. Transhumanists claim to have the cure for every ill; post-scarcity, digitized existences, strong artificial intelligences, and so much more. They pretend that by worshiping humanity's creations instead that transhumanism is somehow different. All it takes is a brief time spend reading in between the lines to see what the trunshumanist cult - yes, cult - is all about. They too wish to seek utopia by erasing what it means to be human. They too preach that every individual is imperfect and in need of their salvation; this time by rejecting all biology." - Dr. Fallow, Doctor of Biological Sciences; excerpt from hir book, Short Circuit: The Case Against Transhumanism

"I see that it will take more than the Darcsens to kill you, Jolyon Niles."

"Who are you? What do you want with God's Right Seat?"

"Fool. You have not realized who I am, have you?"

"...Y-You're the child we brought up. Fiamma."

"Fiamma of the Right, you mean."

"But how? You're older!"

"Time traveling through the use of magic. In order for me to rise to my position as the leader of God's Right Seat, I needed to remove a few pests. Among them, removing the Old Guard as it were."

"Why?!"

"It is easy, Jolyon Miles. You and the old God's Right Seat stood in the way of my inevitable ascension to power. But it doesn't matter. God's Right Seat... My own God's Right Seat, will surpass God himself."

-- Conversation between Fiamma (the version of him from 2019) and former God's Right Seat leader, Jolyon Niles, in the year 1996, following the destruction of the old God's Right Seat through the Darcsen extremist groups. The 1996 "Holy War" was influenced by Fiamma to ensure that no one stood in his way when he made a new God's Right Seat in 2014.

Jolyon Miles was disintegrated by Fiamma at the end of that conversation and Fiamma returned to 2019
