    There doesn’t have to be a good guy in this story. It is perfectly plausible for this entire mess to be driven solely by villains while the innocents, who have no control over any of it, be its victims.

      That is pretty much true throughout all of history. You almost never have “good guys”; it’s usually “bad guys” versus “worse guys.”

        It’s usually “worse guys” saying “NO WE’RE NOT THAT BAD THE OTHER GUY IS EVEN WORSE THEY RAPED BABIES ON THE 7TH OF OCTOBER/KILLD!!! THEY DESERVED IT”

      I kinda default to “underdog=good guy” in these situations. The people with trillions of dollars reaching across the globe to grub for more are typically in the wrong.
