This quote is confusing. Is the fascism being presented as good or evil? If it's supposed to be evil, which seems to be the insinuation, why are the books circumventing this fascism using excuses instead of reasons? I think maybe the quote's sentence is just structured in a way that's a little confusing. The base concepts are all solid.

I'm constructing this story from a place of intense mental chaos. If my feelings come out a little warped, then I require an Editor. The Excuses/Reasons Dynamic is based on a lack of trust in Authority, in general. Also, that the Institutions that compose the World are based on an Evil that cannot be fought because they built the World in the first place. They built the Prisons, wrote the Laws, designed the Courts, and the Entire System of Systems of Infrastructure. Kindness is a Marketing Tactic, and "The Wicked tend to win" as Machiavelli put it. The Good, on the lower end of Society, are the ones accusing their Betters of Crimes against Morality, but those with a Mastery of Language can spin anything to be true like a skilled Programmer designing a Game. I see the World this way, and it gives me trust issues with Authority, and it gives me a Complex about Power and Control. That is why I placed those issues into Coin's Character, so she can work them out for me in a world of my Design. This is my Sandbox to figure stuff out.
