thinking about madara and how kishi and the burrito writers stripped all the mythological intrigue of the narutoverse for what? to justify a war machine? to promote jingoism? to pretend like madara did what he did cuz of the moon lady and not because he was a soldier for most of his life and didn’t think hashirama’s brand of fascism was the answer to peace? madara was so damn scary half the time BECAUSE he knew how dirty the shinobi nations really were, caught them slipping, and realized the only solution to war and fascism and child soldiers and murder and human trafficking and slavery was an eternity spent under an illusion cuz he had NO other answer for all the horrors in the world, a lot of it pushed by konoha to maintain its power, so he went straight to option #8991 and tried to implement a universal illusion cuz nobody socialized his ass after the wars, NOBODY PUT HIS ASS IN THERAPY AND HELPED HIM HEAL, CUZ NOBODY TRIED TEACHING HIM SOMETHING BEYOND WAR AND POLITICS SO HE CONTINUED THE VICIOUS CYCLE AND MANIPULATED PEOPLE LIKE OBITO, CUZ NOBODY WANNA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THERE WERE PROBABLY TEN THOUSAND MADARAS IN EVERY NATION CREATED BY THE WAR ECONOMY, BUT NONE SMART OR POWERFUL ENOUGH TO GET WHERE MADARA DID BUT IF THEY HAD A CHANCE THEY WOULD’VE, AKA NAGATO WAS RIGHT FROM THE START
