    Hordak’s propaganda is more accurate than what the show depicted. Royals don’t have to make their subjects happy. They just need to keep them weak. The people of Dryl weren’t just scared of the robots. They had a learned helplessness and submission. Having met the monster Herself, I know why those people were so fucked up. I met another of Her many victims a few weeks ago, scared and compliant. Brainwashed. I helped free Them, insofar as I could. They’re doing better now, I think.

    But that’s the problem with absolute power. That’s what happens when your country is ruled by dictators. Etherians have about as much actual freedom as North Koreans.

    The fact that a gang of dictators amount to Etheria’s left wing is absolutely insane. It wouldn’t be out of place in 40k.
