Re: OT A question regarding a culture I\'m working
Hmmmm well I might have overstated some of the hostile responses of Icarans.
Like I said primarily they try and assimilate a culture and slowly convert it over time with the children and leaving things as intact as possible with as few "true" icarans as possible on planet.
And if you look at (of all things) Hitler's germany you can see how seducing the young people of a population can help to secure your hold over a people and bring them into line.
And for joe schmo on the street whos smart enough to realize their vote doesn't count for all that much anyway (as was proven by Bush winning for example) then losing the total vote of who is your leader doesnt make much of a difference.
Also free health care, assured of a job and livelihood, assured of equal treatment under the law yeah a lot of people would find that nice.
