How long have you been in [[GrimUpNorth Skyrim]]? Give the man my axe. If he keeps it, I will bide my time. If he returns it to you, it means war. Men who understand each other often have no need for words. There are but a few simple truths behind one warrior giving another his axe. Balgruuf will know my meaning."''

In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me.' The idea that you can somehow remain aloof from and superior to the struggle, while living on food which British sailors have to risk their lives to bring you, is a bourgeois illusion bred of money and security."''

In such a world, we get to choose what we like and embrace it, and skip what we don't and move on.''

90	->''We are all the product of the collective human experience that is deliciously diverse, very little of which is mutually-exclusive.

95
96	->''"A long time ago, my dad heard Malcolm X speak at a church in Memphis. He said that during slave days, you had the house Negro, and the field Negro.\
97	The house Negro lived in the master's house, ate the same food as the master, lived in a warm room, usually in the basement. If the master got a cold, he was right there to help out, all cheerful and friendly because he wanted his own life to be good, and that meant making the master happy.\
98	The field Negro ate whatever scraps the dogs didn't eat, lived out in a cold shack, was beaten and kicked — and when the master got sick, he prayed every day the master would die. Didn't matter if the master was technically a nice guy or not. The master represented the system, and it was the system he hated."''

108	->[[RebelliousSpirit Anders]]' fanaticism colors his every encounter: [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Aveline]]'s deliberate turning of a blind eye to Anders - an [[DemonicPossession Abomination]], no less - isn't good enough for him; he has to complain that she doesn't let every mage her guards capture go free. When they visit [[FantasticGhetto the Alienage]], Anders comments that because of [[EnslavedElves their oppression]], the Elves should, quote, "be on our side." It doesn't occur to him to say "we should work with the Elves," its "[[ItsAllAboutMe the Elves should be working with]] ''[[ItsAllAboutMe us]]."'' Anders is a "my cause first, even discussing nuance is heresy" kind of fanatic: [[MoralMyopia he feels no extreme is taking it too far, but will condemn even the most trifling act of those he disagrees with as if they were feeding pregnant women to hungry sharks]]. Anders is the kind of fanatic that doesn't care about winning hearts and minds, ''[[TheUnfettered just about winning]]'' - and so consequently, [[PyrrhicVictory always loses]]. If you think of the Mage Issue as being like drug prohibition, [[VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins Tim The Enchanter]] is the one that says to people "we should decriminalize marijuana as a first step in showing how society isn't going to collapse," - but then Anders cuts him off because Tim's not advocating heroin-filled vending machines be placed in schools tomorrow. [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic Anders is insufferable]] because even if you're on his side, you're ''still'' not on his side enough for him, not unless you're almost as insane as he is!

138
139	->''"The whole point of "human rights" is that you tend to support them regardless of what those people believe. My criticisms of certain Israeli actions in the 1948 war or thereafter [[InsaneTrollLogic have nothing to do with]] my positions on how they or the Palestinians approach LGBT rights. Likewise, when I make videos calling out left-wingers who support Hamas, October 7th denial, all those things, that doesn't mean I'm implicitly endorsing everything Israel does. Everyone understands this; if I bring up a story of, say, the Pakistani government forcing out nearly 400,000 Afghan refugees, pushing them straight into the hands of the Taliban government that they were fleeing, it would be pretty weird if someone's response to that was, "Uh… ahem, sorry, but… as a progressive, you do understand that most of those Afgans probably don't support gender affirming care, right?" This is a ridiculous argument. I don't know why people make it, I don't know why people think it's a clever thing to say, I'm sure there are some people out there who think Palestinians have progressive views on queer rights… um, I'm not one of them."''
