>everything for the sake and justification of maintaining power
i love this explanation from him because i often see people try to go 'uhh is he stupid lmao dialectics doesnt work that way' as though confronting him with an epic logic bomb or with historical inaccuracy to rome/contradictions/hypocrisy as though it will dismantle ceasars arguments and force him to commit seppuku
he's more likely to just crucify you on the spot

>Legion territory safe in a way the NCR was not
>African petty warlord psychology.
its both
... it IS safer... for many... at the cost of a lot of liberties and the punishment for fuck ups is decidedly way more brutal... that whole thing about in vs outgroups is that if you dont stand to benefit, those that do may be bewildered that you dont care for the system. so lets look at it from a non ncr, non legion POV. legion life may very well be great for some inside but how are you supposed to react when legion shows up and goes 'ok your way of life is going to drastically change whether you like it or not'
NCR at least pretends to give you a choice and wont end up with you on a pole if you step out of line, and NCR territory in the west where they can adequately protect it is safe as well.
but what about those without the means and living in dangerous chemfiend territory? they might see them as liberators.
its complicated. and thats great. they say you cant make an omelette without breaking a few eggs but what about when its you who are the eggs? you might have a thing to say about the people making you into an omelette
as for who blew up the world.... it doesnt matter. we're not supposed to know. you know who blew up the world? humanity. something something war never changes.
