Ok, I’m really close to just stop reading the comic. I loved the story so far, but lately it shifted to “How direct democracy is so much better than a representative one”.The High Council system seems like the perfect way for a group to take over the town: we saw that the council only need a relative majority to make decisions. That means it only takes three people to deport all Typhoid Maries from Endtown, for instance – and everything with the certainty of anonimity. Add that the five members are chosen at random and that they might as well be all Jackrabbit lackeys. So much for your perfect democracy.
I don’t live under a rock and I don’t think our democracy is perfect. Hell, I live in Italy, I know what corrupt politicians can do to a country. But that doesn’t mean that there’s a better system than ours. Democracy without politics is a fairy tale. We live under the illusion that politicians are worse than common people. Guess what: they aren’t!Jackrabbit and Allgood didn’t even need to rig the system – it was doomed to fail because of the way it was designed.
Waiting for better storylines and for all of this to end.
AH! I knew it! I called it back when Jackrabbit gave that strange look at the beginning of the trial, and I thought it all made the most sense. The trial was made unpopular by purpose, and probably this the final spark (at least in Jackrabbit plan) to unleash the resentment towards Typhoid Maries and Humanists. Think about it: the only existing council member is immune to the mutation!
I don’t like this. Next thing they’re going to kick “Typhoid Maries” out of Endtown. Jackrabbit isn’t better than Allgood. I wonder if this whole arrest was manipulated by him.
@JusSayinBack when Holly and Wally went to the anti-human (or mutant-pride) conference and become friends with that strange mutant he said that, since babies are infected while still unconscious, they all become anthropomorphic mutants when they’re conceived. I think they never stated if there’s some kind of genetic involved so that children are similar to their parents, but I guess this should be the case.
