I’ll never understand the unnecessary hate toward Thorfinn. Instead of holding those who are truly evil accountable, people choose the easier target and blame his convictions, his morals, his principles, all shaped by his brutal world he never chose. Watching people like this has taught me one thing: they lack empathy, having lived lives where everything was handed to them by others. They have never had to survive, never had to unlearn violence, never had to choose kindness in a world that taught them cruelty, and that is why they will never understand love or care.

>>284665742
It's not about being a good person
Thorfin is just insane and the author who wrote him is an idiot
The man isn't lacking at all in dedication to his principles, but his principles are the type that lead to ruin if he ever meets someone who's strong like him and isn't a good person or even just has sufficiently different ideas of what it means to be good
The truth is, there is such a thing as justified and righteous violence
If you want to make the world a better place, you need to figure out what that is, or else have the luxury of never living in a violent place to begin with
Thorfin never had that luxury, so him taking the role of a leader while refusing to fight is the height of foolishness

You missed the point then

Sucidal empathy people like thorfinn are the reason why the west is such shit now
>>
>>284665861
>the west is such shit now
the west has been shit ever since they abandoned their pagan gods and cultures and started praying to a middle eastern demon
>>
>>284666995
With all due respect, which is clearly very little, fuck off

That'd be unchecked capitalism, anon.

In Gundam Wing Relena Peacecraft finds out she's the princess of the Sanc Kingdom, who traditionally practice total pacifism. Once she took the throne she continued to publicly advocate for total pacifism, disbandment of all militaries. The Romefeller Foundation, the series' Illuminati, responded by sending a complement of soldiers to conquer the Sanc Kingdom and depose its leader. Relena, upon learning this, decided to...

continue to advocate for total pacifism. As a result she did nothing to defend the kingdom and Sanc was conquered, and Relena was made a puppet of Romefeller.

This is Thorfinn's mentality.

1: go to /pol/ for that shit
2: There's no such thing as capitalism
>>
Canute should've been the protagonist.
>>
>>284667073
It sounds like her country would've been completely unprepared to resist a sudden invasion even if she wanted, to be fair.
>>
You can just read what happened to the moriori, a tribe that practiced pacifism and non-aggression to all other peoples.
>>
>>284667239
Should have, yes
But he would have turned into what Thorfin was, because Thorfin was written like that as an expression of the author's actual beliefs
>>
>>284667239
If he was we would have run into the author's total failure to understand Christianity as a major feature of the plot
>>
>>284667256
She not only had advisors telling her to fight back, she had soldiers too, AND the series' main rival and his overpowered giant robot. All were willing to fight for her if she gave the order. She chose not to and sacrificed the country and martyr'd herself instead so her soldiers wouldn't die for her.

Being a good person isn't just good; It's healthy. If you worry about having enemies all the time, the stress will accumulate over the years and will affect your in your later life.
>>
>>284667076
No, right makes might
>>
>>284665742
You allow yourself to be a victim. That's all 'good' amounts to.
>>
be a strong person
watch dragon ball

>>284667954
>Being good = powerful people agree with whatever it is I did
This is how women think right?
>>
>>284665742
Yes.
>>
>>284665793
>Instead of holding those who are truly evil accountable
How do you do that without some form of violence?
I do agree that victim blaming is yet another form of cruelty and violence we are all conditioned to doing, because we live in a hell world where almost every interaction is some form of the prisoners dilemma. Thorfinn on his own has every right to choose the path he does.
However Thorfinn is not on his own. He is leading other people into a meatgrinder, with absolutely no recourse or defense.

Haven't watched Gundam Wing yet but why is that a bad thing?
Not having countless people die and suffer thanks to the war sounds good pretty good (assuming you have your people's wellbeing in mind and not your own position and power).
>>
>>284667061
except countries like sweden don't have that and are still destroying themselves with sand niggers
>>
>>284672899
Actually we do. Whatever ideas foreigners have about Sweden (that we have "socialism", which we never actually had) they ended sometime in the late 70's/early 80's. We've been the same neoliberal, free trade, unlimited immigration, keep wages down and unemployment up-loving cucks as literally every other country in Europe since then.
>>
>>284669975
What are you talking about
>>
>>284673081
The Swede is a communist that brings it up in unrelated conversation, how unsurprising....
>>
Why does every thread have to devolve into /pol/ shit, holy fuck.
>>
>>284665742
>why can't all people, whether good or bad, be like thorfinn?
jews
>>
>>284674635
Because of guys like Sweden here that can't understand that reason and morality exist outside of their specific ideas about how government should work
