>As if any of them give an actual fuck about the peasantry, the vast majority of that passage is about the Syndicate going insane
Ul'dah has peasantry too, retard. And he doesn't mention the Syndicate even once.
>They don't HAVE an economy even before the fall, Gyr Abania is a shithole with nothing but salt and they sustained their nation through trade, mercenary work and conquest
And rather than send them back with still no economy, it's a net positive for them and for everyone else to jumpstart the fucking SALT industry because salt is more valuable than fucking gold.
>ROI makes absolutely no sense for him to talk about unless he is referring to the Syndicate
You're a retard. Ul'dah needs money to take care of its own people. If the Ala Mhigans can benefit from industry and the Ul'dahn people can benefit from that industry as well, that's the best outcome. Much better than simply moving money from the Ul'dahn people to the Ala Mhigans and producing nothing. Again, he doesn't mention the Syndicate at all. You imagined your own version of the conversation so you could pretend he agrees with your fucked up regressive politics.
