What if independent regions primarily raid because many defenders strike them as those rather obnoxious vegans who are constantly telling people they should feel bad for eating their hamburger? The point is that I think many are motivated to raid simply because of the personalities of many of the leading defenders and there is a sense of duplicity. That while these more political defenders espouse a white knight mentality... that they would appear to simply be gaining power for themselves and treating the whole defender system as a political party. One can't help but look at Unibot pushing TEP, TNP & TSP defender and wondering were the loyalty really lies. There is something a little shameless about it; there is a reason why I've tended to focus on one region at a time.
People would even question whether such individuals are even defender or if they simply push those beliefs as a way to control others and influence regions. The point is that with such behaviour and the fact that they advocate for the destruction of independentism, simply because it challenges their behaviour and world view... how can the political independent who tends to be more of a realist and regionalist work with some defenders?
