Ok, thanks, there's more to process here.
>post-election TLA
I'm not qualified to judge if it is a real and/or a good thing because I've never heard of it before and just had to look it up. But I have to admit, my knee-jerk reaction to reading about it now is to warn you about the dangers of the mentality of a persecuted man.
>A psychological example of TDS is in Ericksonian hypnotherapy, where vague suggestions are used that the patient must process intensely in order to find their own meanings, thus ensuring that the practitioner does not intrude his own beliefs into the subject's inner world.
Poetic.
>White Pony's Burden /.../ to civilize them
An oversimplification. The only ones who were truly done dirty by the school arc are the yaks. Bitches were written as basically Klingons with worse music, ripe for colonization by design. Dragons and griffins were treated with little respect since Faust's run but they do have their own things going on. Changelings were Orz'd away for an entirely different culture before the school. Three different statements about them are correct: it's kind of true to their name and nature to have radical chages to conform to whatever like that, the execution was ugly as fuck, and in any case it happened before the school. Hyppos, eh, also exist? I don't remember shit about the stairs girl and I'm not going to rewatch this uninspired hot mess any time soon but in the feature about Berrytwist's fit ass they had a kingdom complete with pretty glowing seashells and all this civilized stuff.
>an ebil Pony Supremacist villain who later reforms
A classy plot line, nothing's wrong about supremacist villains or their reformations. Again, it's the execution that was weak.
