      "let's keep going exactly as we were, no changes, no social shifts, no compensation for a suddenly doubled population" is fuckin' LUDICROUS, it doesn't at all account for material scarcity or geological distribution or anything else! It's "it worked on my commune..."

      As it stands one can pretty much only justify the Blip if one takes the logical assumption that it is not a malignant genie and Banner was able to magic up a bunch of resources to at least keep the Returned from starving (& maybe also including undoing all the knock-off deaths).

      TBH it actually makes the most sense if Banner DID undo the knock-off deaths and other catastrophes from the Snap, not just because it preserves an unmitigated happy ending but because it means the Returned THOROUGHLY outnumber the resentful Survivors & thus can outvote them.

      Like that's pretty clearly the world being depicted in FFH and F&TWS - not the traumatized world where the Survivors were further winnowed down by catastrophe, but the one where the Survivors are suddenly maybe a third or less of the populace and are ripe for radicalization.

      The alternative - that an entire half of humanity is not only universally in agreement that they need to do a mulligan & some light ethnic cleansing, but also able to just displace the radicalized, hardened by strife, and angry OTHER half of humanity - is ridiculous.

      Replying to @loudpenitent @Czhorat and

      Seriously anybody who lived through the Snap is not someone to fuck with. They're gonna be traumatized, vengeful, angry, CAPABLE people with nothing to lose, probably driven towards hedonism by seeing their entire world unmoored in a flash. Good luck moving those people.

      This gets at the heart of the real problem. Noah had talked about how using fantastic stand-ins for real problems is an issue I don't agree, but the issue is that we're using a fantastic problem that makes no sense to stand for real problems to which it is on no way analogous..

      Yeah again, F&TWS wants to try to insist that Real World Issues are more significant in a world where they are thoroughly obsolete.

      While disguising one as the other with a kind of shrug. I think they're going for making fantasy issues FEEL like real issues, in terms of tone and process, but without actually doing anything.

      Like, whatever realistic-scale issues are being pushed by Karli, there's the really strange aspect that nobody seems to care except her group; everyone else is sort of perplexed by their very existence.

      In order to be truly sympathetic to Karl's position you have to be someone whose life was already pretty fucking bad before the Snap - someone so marginalized and isolated you didn't personally lose anyone whose return could possibly make the Unsnap worth it to you

          Which is kind of shows you why most people wouldn't sympathize with Karli but would pity her How fucked would you have to be for a disaster like that to actually improve your life

          It does seem noteworthy that Karli only moves in circles of thoroughly radicalized and socially isolated people.

          Yeah, if her goal is some kind of Snap-restoration. Which would be horrifying, but they don't take her there directly. Instead it's about how the world *was* during that time, whatever the fuck that means, because apparently there were no borders?

          Naturally, her main enemy is a one-world government organization, because internationalists hate those.

          My understanding of Karli's position, and I could be misremembering, is that after the snap, people became less nativist/nationalistic in responding to the crisis, and with everyone returned, governments are falling back into their bad habits.
