Too true. And they're likely to be done away with by their own side too. It isn't like the guys playing militia in the forest have some great love for the wealthy sons, daughters, and or grandchildren of the people who had the actually success. Way too easy to come up with a justification to simply take what they have.
In the end, most any of us can come up with a justification for just about anything, don't you think? Human nature being what it is? Kind of makes me wonder sometimes how we've managed to not only survive but 'thrive' as a species for as long as we have. Answer to that way above my 'pay grade', I guess.
Probably a survival trait to be able to rationalize away moral qualms. If you can't sleep at night after hitting Oog over the head and taking his stuff, you aren't going to be well rested enough to defend your prizes. ;)
You're welcome. IDK...just what came to mind as I read your comment here, which I think is pretty spot on.
(Have since pictured Madame knitting away and suddenly exclaiming in French "Mick Mulvaney? What the hell kind of name is that?? Spelling, please." My brain gets a little weird sometimes, I know.)
I don't think many of the wealthy and 'elite' ever consider the possibility of some modern-day Madame Defarge knitting their names between the slices.

I do appreciate a good Dickens ref. Thank you for that.
