Let’s be real for a second. Everybody in that town helped build the system they’re now crying about.
Let’s not sit here and act like Guwon is the only one to blame. Yeah, he killed people who weren’t of use that was cold and brutal, and I’ll never excuse that. But who added on to the rules that allowed it to keep happening?
Doc literally said they came together and made those rules as a whole. The town did thatout of fear, out of survival, and out of guilt. They voted for that dad to die, and then turned around after the fact and told Teach, please save the kid since we couldn’t save the dad. We think you can make a difference.
Why the hell didn’t y’all speak up before? Now that kid’s dad is dead!
They laid the foundation and agreed to follow it. They helped shape those rules, voted for them, lived by them. They made four clear survival rules:
Don’t lock doors. Hold gatherings. Vote in unity. Don’t cross Guwon. And let’s not forget Guwon agreed to those first three rules, meaning y’all came to him about them, right? So y’all knew he a brutal man but wasn’t some mindless killer, and yall negotiated with him before.
But suddenly now it’s, “Oh, he’s too dangerous. Poor us.” He’s always been dangerous. But y’all fed that danger every day by choosing survival over justice.
So now, Guwon’s the only monster? Nah.
Y’all kept him that way because it was easier to survive with him than without him.
How many people have y'all voted to die for that very reason?!
And I’m not gonna fault y’all for that survival choice when getting recruited because honestly. I can’t say what I would’ve done in their place. Outside of bitterness would’ve been building in me too after losing someone I loved like that.
But at the end of the day, they all broke themselves to survive. They made the rules that oppressed them. You can’t build a prison and then cry when you realize you’re locked inside.
And now, when it’s finally safe enough to question it when Guwon has shown he’s open to change y’all suddenly act like you’re innocent? Like you didn’t help build the system he’s running?
What in the Serena in the Red Handmaids Tale is going on here?
It blows my mind. Y’all made rules Guwon agreed to, but it never clicked that maybe you could negotiate with him on other things too.
And let’s talk about Teach for a second, because he’s really pissed me off. He spent the whole season acting like he was above all this.
Talking about: Violence is wrong. Lying is wrong. Survival without kindness is meaningless. But now look at him wearing Guwon’s ring, faking smiles, and plotting to stab the one man who trusts him. Using love to lower his guard.
When he knows good and well he could’ve talked to him and found a middle ground.
Right now, there’s no difference between Teach and the people who built that broken system.
He’s justifying his betrayal the same way they justified following Guwon It’s for peace, our survival. It’s the only way in this broken system.
That’s exactly what the townspeople said when they followed Guwon in the first place. They all broke themselves to survive and abandoned justice. And now Teach is becoming no different.
He has a choice, fix the system honestly with Guwon by continuing to be upfront with him or
Break it with betrayal and lie to himself and everyone else, calling it “peace.”
And let’s not act like Guwon is stupid, because he’s not. He might be slow on the come up but he definitely learns. And I guarantee the Hounds ain’t gonna let this slide if they catch wind of anything before Guwon does. Guwon you might be able to talk down. The Hounds? Not so much.
A whole lot of people are going to die going up against Guwon and the Hounds and teach he’s playing a direct hand in it.
The premonition dream seems to foreshadowing the truth the whole situation.
