i may judge lelouch harshly myself
but there is no time in which i dont consider britannia to be much worse then him
in fact, much of what i dont like about him, may well be a result of the fact that he is a PRODUCT of that society

Exactly.
I guess I specifically focused on season 1, because that's where most of the focus on Britannian tyranny is, even though they become even worse about it in R2.
I also could've mentioned Suzaku's moral and empathic myopia that reared its ugly head in R2.
And to say that Lelouch was the way he was because of Britannia, past and present, is the understatement of the century.
To add to the Zero Requiem discussion, it happened because Lelouch was a broken man. A dangerously uninhibited broken man at that, but a broken man nonetheless.
