>but the novel does not necessarily reflect the setting proper.
No, that's you disregarding the events of the movie.

>Blue Cosmos is weaker than ever. They have no institutional power in the Atlantic Federation anymore. Their leader isn't some shadowy executive with a shitload of capital, it's just some old soldier guy who the Alliance themselves put an arrest warrant out for. Who gets nuked.
That was the state of play before Foundation showed up. Remember that Blue Cosmos was supposedly purged for good alongside Logos, yet the movement still has some military force around a year later.

Going back to the "nothing seems to stick in this fucking writing" point, it makes no sense that Eurasia would be the ones supporting Blue Cosmos after the Destroy's rampage. And yet...
There's the excuse that PLANT had been supporting the secessionist movements, but Djibril and his ideology killed thousands more.


>It's no excuse, but it's presented as him not even wanting to use the Destroy, but being forced to under duress from Djibril. Between that and his memories being tampered with, yeah, I could see cause for leniency.
At least have Mwu showing some contrition for his actions. It's not like he lost all of his memories as Neo.
