> 1. Still didn’t say what he claims i said.
What exactly do you think I claim you said?
> 2.It’s hard to focus on one group and accept that when you refuse to show other sides to the story.That is one of the main issues, the lack of conflicting point of views. You can’t have the first book predominately showing how an elite thinks only have one mindset. If Pro-human alliance elites were brought up or others that see they are at fault for their own collapse then it would be fine. But you can’t have every elite in the novel have the same mindset and then have one elite that is slightly more intelligent than the rest and call that Perspective.
Why not? It seems perfectly realistic to me. That’s how things always happen… do you think people really understand what all went down in the 2007 financial crises? Or do you think they wanted someone to blame, and greedy bankers were a popular and easy thing for most people to blame. And I assure you most people don’t study economics. When things go bad people ALWAYS look for a scapegoat.
> Rai’s Point of view isn’t even heavily focused on anyway because she is a female which is funny since Karen is a woman herself.
I don’t see how you came to that conclusion, many of the characters in Kilo-5 are women and have attention focused on them…
> 3.China has been an empire for Eons and if they were to fall for whatever reason (which is a doubt since they have been around for so long and have a handle on things) They wouldn’t blame peru for all of their problems despite the low contact they have with them.
You are so wrong about that. I can pretty much assure you that if the Chinese economy collapsed, many Chinese people WOULD blame other countries, like America. Maybe no Peru, specifically, but I hardly see how that specific country is a valid parallel.
> The Elites have been technologically advanced for thousands of years There is absolutely no logic for them to blame their shortcomings on a race that they have only known for 30 years and have constantly chided for being inferior to them. If you see a spider on the wall while walking downstairs and trip is it the spiders fault? You have been walking for years, you know how to pay attention and you should have been focused on the stairs instead of the spider. Why would you go out of your way to find blame in something that had nothing to do with your predicament? Just admit you weren’t paying attention and get back up.

> That is what People with the cognitive processes above a 3 year old would do. instead, the elites would rather stay on the ground,rub dirty on their knees and conjure all this hate towards the spider and then state they want to eradicate every spider on the globe. They want to focus all this attention on eradication while they are down instead of working on picking themselves back up.
Except that they aren’t tripping over spiders… their empire is collapsing. So yeah, there is gonna be a lot of irrational behavior. You really think it only works if everyone acts logically? Do you realize how non sensical that is? Just because they’ve flown around in space doesn’t make them smart… hell it’s even talked about in the books. They can’t repair their ships. They don’t know how they work.
They are blaming humanity because there is no one else to blame, other than themselves. And because there are many individuals comprising of that society… many are gonna end up hating humans. It makes perfect sense.
> 4.I am not the only one that understands the implications of what karen has done and if you would take the time to read the link i posted you would see that. Ignore the viewpoints; the point is there aren’t any more than those negative ones in the book and it isn’t like those go in hand with anything prior. If there were other and more logical points in the novels then it would just be an ignorant point of view that happens in any society, but when you give one example and consistently stick with it i have no reason to believe other views exist if you won’t even take the time to write out or even acknowledge that others exist.
You’re completely misunderstanding me. I’m saying that she did make changes that have deep implications for the story. Obviously. I’m saying those changes were, for the most part, logical and justifiable. And there ARE multiple viewpoints, you just either don’t like any of them, or discount them. There’s the Arbiter’s view, there’s Raia’s view, there’s Telcams’ view and then there’s Jul’s.
And obviously, since we were following the story arc of how and why Jul got to where he is… you’re going to get the viewpoint of a guy who hates humans.
> 5.If everybody says Kill kill kill and one person says “don’t” that does not nor should it count as a single point of view. It especially should not count as multiple.
What? Of course it does. That doesn’t make sense, you can’t choose to define multiple as “at least a significant chunk of people” or anything other than more than one. I see your point that she portrays large parts of Sanghelli society in a way that you didn’t like, and in a way which is bigoted… but that doesn’t mean that she didn’t have any viewpoints from less bigoted members of Elite society, and it doesn’t mean that there aren’t non bigoted Elites. We’re just dealing with the Elites who are central to conflict…
