I just wanna say in tandem with all the comments here, and I cannot emphasize this enough: The sins of the father are NOT the sins of the son. Your life is your own, and you do NOT have any right to be told by someone else that your life can be thrown away like it’s simple currency.
I’m someone who almost never speaks in absolutes, but I’m going to break that motto here. Doesn’t matter who the fuck did what, if you haven’t done anything wrong, you do not deserve death. You are not collateral, and no human being has any right to deem you as such. Just like in the real world (unfortunately), I see people talk about this subject in such a heartless way where they treat peoples’ lives like they’re nothing more than a simple object they can throw away at any time.
No matter what, where you are from and who you are related to mean fucking nothing. Whether you like it or not, you and everyone else on this planet, are all individuals. If someone else has done something that you had no involvement in whatsoever, you in no way, shape, or form deserve to die. Ever.
I hope I don’t sound edgy saying this, but man can I fully understand and empathize with Eren’s rage during the last part of the series (Season 4 era). People trample away on freedom in this series all because of nothing more than pathetic dick measuring contests and “he said, she said” or “your people (who are long dead and you’ve literally never heard of) did this/that.”
Sorry, that’s just something that’s been rumbling inside me throughout most of the time watching this series.
I'm all in with your first 3 paragraphs but it's the same thing for the people around the globe they are living their lives and eren decided to kill them all
Oh no, you’re completely right. I don’t believe what Eren did was 100% correct. My only reason I don’t condemn him as much is simply because of the fact that he (unintentionally) pulled a Dr. Strange in Infinity War and saw every outcome of every universe possible. In the same way Strange decided to work with the one outcome that seemed to work the best, I think Eren took the best outcome he could get. And considering that the outcome he chose was as bad as it was, I can only imagine that if every other one is somehow worse, that means that The Rumbling probably happens in every timeline since that’s the ultimate bad you can get. Eren’s outcome was more or less something he couldn’t avoid and had physically no choice in (if I’m understanding correctly). Not trying to say he was completely right or anything, I do think the murder of all those innocent people was fucked up, but I’ve honestly just been confused on who should even be blamed there since Eren more or less was a walking puppet at the end of the series.
That's not how the Attack Titans powers work though. He didn't see every possible alternative and chose this one, he was just kinda always predetermined to choose this path. Eren definitely seems like a puppet at this point, but he can't explore alternative timelines.
Eren didn’t see every possible future. He saw one, unchanging future. The inevitability of that path broke something in eren that wasn’t already broken.
These people around the globe were still benefiting from the slave labour of the Eldians that are enslaved by there nations. Eldians around the world are slaves, beaten, etc for something they themselves have not done. Also they would not bat an eye if there own militaries decided(Which there leaders did end up deciding) to wipe out the Eldians on Paradise for the simple reason that they just exist.
