Oh I think people in real life also have to make sense, it's just often messy, corrupt and a mixture of narcissist and egomaniacs screwing over everyone.
History books don't tend to write about that but simply parrot the official story - which doesn't make sense because it's white washed and sterile and missing important facts.
Is this from Memedroid??? Does it still exist?
JRPG: "Hello Great Man of History, I am the ruler of the country. I have a terrible secret that is the singular cause of all my country's problems. You'll find the answer directly behind a book case in the basement, right after you fling 200 hand grenades at the faery vampire butler who guards it. Read the book to unlock the next step in your perfectly linear journey towards a quest to Kill God."
Real Life: drops doisee on Osama Bin Laden on desk "A fringe sect of an Afghanistan anti-Communist militia has turned against its former CIA backers while..." drop report by NAFTA on desk "... shifting trade relations flood Latin America with cheap corn and open a lucrative market for narcotics." drops report on East Asian export markets "As Pacific Rim manufacturing heats up and..." drops report on Midwest industrialization "... the US interior undergoes a prolonged recession." drops the Starr Report on your desk "In 1992, Americans elects their horniest President to date, resulting in a series of military strikes on said fringe anti-communist sect's activities in Africa." drops report on the second Congolese War on desk "Meanwhile..." drops the third season of Voyager on desk "... a future IL Senator's wife lands a career defining role on a Sci-fi TV classic, leading to another sex scandal that propels the career of America's first black president..." drops report on the history of race relations in the US "... which creates a political backlash that leads us to... " drops six seasons of the Apprentice on desk
And that's just the highlights. Let me talk to you about a man named Jack Welch.
That's just the intro cutscene of a metal gear or splinter cell game.
no clue how you managed to condense all that into one paragraph. Degree in political science?
Ha. No. Just love reading.
Down with Ulfric, the killer of kings!
Man I hate him and his racism.
Never go to Morrowind.
At least the Dunmer are upfront about it. The Stormcloaks hide behind their opposition to the White-Gold Concordat and the Thalmor while being while being wildly racist. In Morrowind, the locals just tell you to your face that they hate you for being an outlander.
