      There's a certain scifi book (well-written, no spoilers) I'm having trouble reading b/c half of it is the PoV of criminals against humanity.

      The faction they claim to represent is chronically downtrodden, but soon enough, they become tyrants, terrorizing "their own" people.

      The crime in question is way too massive to forgive, or even prosecute fully. They need to be defeated, but humanity also needs to heal.

      I find it hard to even plow through their PoV chapters, much as they're presented as a fully-fleshed complex group, not cardboard villains.

      (Comparison-wise, they're more like IRA than ISIS; bitter idealists, rather than brutal nihilists. But the end result is the same.)

          It's a tricky dilemma the book presents: how do you defeat destructive factions w.o sundering humanity apart w planet-killing total war?

          The dilemma is increasingly becoming pertinent to real world conflict, and we've only got the one planet to preserve, or wreck.

          Not that a solar system diaspora would necessarily safeguard against that. Artificial habitats would be vulnerable to even contemporary arms

          Also, not an argument against a diaspora, but living on the same planet incentivizes towards mostly preserving its viability. Or, it used to

          I believe the demand for peace always rises to the top. The problem is... how long does that take & what provokes it?

          Weariness of war, says the rational me. But it already has taken a steep toll when that's the case. In planetary terms, unthinkable.

          *nods* Mibbes get a different book to read? Try this one again in a few months?

          Good advice. Truth be told, current events are what make reading it largely unbearable (no fault of the author)
