"Yes, as opposed to all the holes that the UWM seem to be perfectly happy ripping open. And at what point did I mention capitalism or specific planets? I answered your questions, nothing more, nothing less.
I care because I'd rather know why you care for the UWM, have I not addressed your concerns already? It is better for everyone to progress, even if it brings calamity closer as long as it gives us the tools to deal with it. Do you really think the tech bans will prevent that from happening? Our lives and memories are too short, one day, someone will slip up, even with bans in place - after all, there seem to be plenty of government organizations and corporate 'fat cats' that seem to be above those protocols. Do you really think that this disparity will save us? All it will do is delay possible disasters, and it doesn't even buy us any time, they make us less prepared because the few who are apparently above the law don't seem to be too happy to share the fruits of their research with everyone else.
Mark my words, those bans are a death warrant for our entire species."
"revolutionaries, dammit...""...okay, looks like I do need to tell you where I'm coming from.
Before I was in the HMRC, I was a crook. I hurt people. I ran some con games. I did some jobs for some guys. Sometimes I did some legal stuff, sometimes illegal stuff.
I had a life. I had some friends I could be with, a place where I belonged. It was.. good. I did it for ten years.
I don't think a single person in the UWM, even today, has the slightest idea who I am, or for that matter, ever knew who I was.
I was sent up the river, so to speak. I got arrested. For murder. I didn't kill the person, but it didn't matter.. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or I was convienent. The cops, judges, whatever.. well they were corrupt, or incompetent, or just honest men believing what was in front of them, but in the end I was sent here. If it weren't for the UWM, I'd like as not have been executed all the same.
Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore. But I never had nothing to do with the UWM.
Now what you are talking about, well, that's called 'bullshit'. I don't know if the tech bans will prevent another accident from happening. I don't know if another accident will happen at all. You, however, don't know one damn thing about it either. The difference is that you are absolutely certain that your "reaserches" will somehow solve the problem, that you don't even know exists.
...It's like you survived a house fire, and are keeping yourself safe by burning down your house again so that it can't sneak up and take you by suprise.
The UWM did investigate this magic stuff. They did it in remote areas, with limited access, like you do if you don't know what the hell you're dealing with.
What you guys are doing is looking at things, saying 'oh, this must be X', and then turning it into guns.
Here, let me describe the scenario. Right now, before this started happening, you had a bunch of monkeys in a pen. Say a hundred monkeys. You know what a monkey is? It's an animal. A smart animal with hands, but still an animal.
There is one particular monkey in the pen. That monkey has a gun, and represents the UWM.
What you're doing is looking at the gun, and saying that gun will kill all the monkeys, and clearly the solution is to make sure every monkey has it's own gun.
That's stupid. I might think of your opinion differently, but you don't know one damn thing about the shit you're dealing with, other than how to use it as a gun, and how to give it to monkeys."
"Would you like to know why I tried to blow up this base?"
