History PlayingWith / TheEvilsOfFreeWill

%%* '''Deconstructed''': ???

** Dracone has seen numerous attempts to justify the necessity of free will, but he outright only sees the negatives and downsides because of how often they occur: People trying to do the right thing, only to put dangerous dictators into power because they didn't pay any attention to the red flags in their indolence, ignorance, and self-righteousness. People trying to avoid doing the right thing because they didn't want to care about other people except for themselves, only for their inaction to allow evil people to do whatever they want until it reaches their metaphorical doorstep. Dracone is just so sick and tired of the constant waves of evil occurring due to the fallibility of free will that he'd rather just force everyone into an absolute totalitarian society where everyone is punished for even the smallest of mistakes, because to him, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans an eternally just society built on punishment]] is the ''only'' way for true peace to be achieved.

** HumansAreBastards who turn the world into a CrapsackWorld whenever they left to their own devices.

You see, your free choice to go back to TheEvilsOfFreeWill is just letting [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife TV Tropes ruin your life]].

** Dracone decides to [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans make the world a miserable, hellish place]] by taking freedom to the extreme.

* '''Parodied''': Fed up with the poor teeth-brushing habits of people, Dracone [[TakeOverTheWorld takes over the world]] to tyrannically enforce good oral hygeine.
