Stupid Evil: Difference between revisions

'''Dukat:''' ''False!'' I tried to ''save'' lives during my administration! I was convinced that a gentler hand was required to deal with the Bajorans. [[Wants a Prize For Basic Decency|Child labor was abolished]]. Medical care was improved, food rations were increased. After one month of my administration, [[Insane Troll Logic|the death rate had dropped by 20%]]. They blew up an orbital dry dock. I ordered 200 members of the resistance rounded up and executed, 200 lives for 200 lives. Time and again, I would reach out as an open hand of friendship, [[Moral Myopia|and time and again]], they would slap it away!}}

:* Okay, let's analyze this. Dukat is basically saying, "I tried to be friendly, but those ungrateful Bajoran terrorists had the audacity to try to liberate their people from the folks that enslaved them, and the other subjugated slaves still treated me like dirt." More rations? Of yes, thanks for giving back a few more crumbs of the rations you stole in the first place, and the fact that there even ''was'' child labor in those prison camps or a death rate you could reduce speaks volumes. Dukat's naïve attempt to convince his victims that he was a benevolent dictator while acting like a tyrant was the political equivalent of pissing into the wind.
