Well shit, I have to be off for a bit and the thread is super dead now.
>>88845987>New antagonist shows up to make everyone's life hell.>Looks like no one can get the jump on the guy.>Asshole authority figure (boss, cop, etc) that usually plays the role of lawful neutral/evil antagonist puts them in their place, showing that they ARE useful for something.Bonus points if this happens more than once, or leads to a positive relationship development between the main cast and the authority figure.
Happy now?
>>88845985>I want to be a part of the process!And there it is.
>People will surrender to the magical kingdom of greatness!So you're arguing in favor of a complete and total fantasy? Nice, thoughts and opinions soundly discarded. Nice try trying to make this place sound even nicer btw, maybe promise free puppies and energy too next time.
>Muh small white homogenous nationRead up on what it's actually like living there, it's not exactly a utopia unless you like the idea of acting and thinking as a single massive indistinguishable blob. Even real success is frowned upon if you're too good at something simply because you might stand out too much.
>>88846080"Utopia Chasers" refers not to just those that promise a shining utopia with ulterior motives, but those wanting to believe in it as well, as they are always the enablers of such disastrous plans.
Stuff like eugenics, for instance, was pursued with the best of intentions not unlike
>>88845985 here, but the results of such beliefs in practice were disastrous.
It's ultimately a struggle between modernist and post-modernist thinking. I understand the appeal of achieving perfection but there are far too many instances in history where groups think they know best, go for that goal, and leave rivers of blood in their wake only for it to be revealed that their ideas were flawed from the start.
