Have you ever watched a horror movie and wondered in awe how stupid the victims are sometimes?

You take real people and put them in those situations, most of them would survive or at least make better decisions. At least that’s what I thought.

And then I took up the mask and began that crusade of righteousness and hope in their name, I realized no, of course in reality people aren’t that stupid.

They’re worse.

Save a kid from a burning building, he lights up another one while inside it the next week. Save a poor woman from her abusive pimp, she’s back sucking his dick the next day. Not only tell the world the king they love so dear is pure evil but prove it, and there will only be a moments hesitation before they leap to their deaths with a goddamn smile on their faces.

See every person in this fucked world has strings attached to them as the powerful and corrupt puppet them every which way they desire. From Zeus to the Corporation to even the so called salvation Seekers, every one has a motive and use for the people. And that’s just how the people want it be.

And no heroes, nor a civil war and especially not a two bit hacker fueled by the truth and redemption can change that.

I get it Nero, you want to be the big bad hero to make up for the years of working for the man but how in the fuck did you work for the most repugnant pieces of shit and not realize that the people you want to wake up are fucking sheep who only want to bury their heads in the sand?

You don’t think the general public know how evil Zeus and his Pantheon are? You don’t think rumours of what they have done infiltrated every single corner of every level at this point? People know the truth, they just refuse to acknowledge it because it terrifies them. They’d rather be content in chains then free in unfamiliar waters.

So you’ll try and inspire them, you’ll try and wake them up and realize that none of it sticks. A shepherd who tries to protect his flock only to watch every single one of them sprint into the wolves maw. Because even if you dethrone Zeus, they’ll just follow the next prick who takes up the crown.

Because the flaw in trying to save those who don’t want to be saved is you just give them strings to attach to you. And the only thing they love more then being slaves is sucking dry the fools who try and liberate them.

But hey? What do I know? I’m just an idiot who paid the price of heroism and has nothing left to show for it. So keep at it, maybe you’ll be different. Maybe you can fix the fatal flaw, maybe you can be the one to save them.

Or maybe you’ll die, your truth puppetted off the cliff by millions of Geppetto’s who never gave a shit about you to begin with.
