I don't think either the queer rats or humans are innocent here as a group although there might be innocent individuals in both groups.

Also again people keep mentioning democracy making the queer rat group something we can root for but why does democracy automatically make your society better?
"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." - Winston Churchill

In other words, democracy is the best form of government that we know of. That's definitely my opinion, and I think that the benefits of a democratic form of government should be pretty self-evident to anybody who lives in a free and democratic country.

If you believe in things like individual rights, empowering people, and governments that are held accountable, then democracy is a no-brainer, imo. As for myself, I believe in those things.

I see the weapons the queer rats have created (even ignoring the cantus user) and question how innocent this society is?
Weapons are tools. The question is what is the tool being used for? If the tool is being used to free slaves that otherwise would always remain slaves, is that such a horrible tool?

I forget who it was but someone said we are watching a vicious cycle repeat itself. It might be true the queer rats are becoming more human but is our own human society that the queer rats might be emulating really so great?
It's better than the human society in SSY, imo.
