Except that Flit was never established as an anti-hero in the first place and so far the show hasn't exactly put him down that dark path. That gun scene would've sealed it for him.

You could say Shinn from Destiny became some what of a villain but he was more of a lapdog for an even bigger one and wasn't even the main protagonist anymore.

dude, you keep going on about vagan committing genocide, but Flit himself acknowledged that they could have destroyed that first colony he was living in in episode 1 by going for the energy reactors, but instead opted to let it collapse slowly so as to give them a chance to save the civilians. If they were simply after killing al the "earthers" they would not have down that...
So you admit that even Flit notices something is off in their operations and isn't exactly the "all vagans must die" obssession and blinded by hatred. He's level headed enough to see through everything.

And for the record as others have noted just because they have ulterior motives doesn't make it more humane. Granted they could've prevented Flit from making a stronger Gundam had Decil destroyed the flagship or the Gundam when it ran out of power but he didn't.

On that end even if Ezcelant is testing and leaving a "door" open for the Federation to crawl out of in a jam it doesn't excuse them for gunning down civilians and bombing cities.
