#and when i said greater good i was referring to the darkling's belief that he did the right thing btw!

And I don't see it as a greater good situation. Humans outnumber the grisha by a LOT so what is the greater god? To shut up and endure as the majority is profiting from this so this is ok. I consider it as a priorities situation, if you accept that putting an end to the endless wars and oppression is your priority (i am calling this neither selfish nor selfless, this is simply a goal you want accomplished) then the civilian deaths are a necessity not in the this is for the benefit of all way but in a this is how i accomplish my goal way.

this may be idealistic of me but I refuse to accept civilian deaths as a necessity. in my opinion there is ALWAYS another way bc even one death is an unacceptable casualty

for example, the darkling could have expanded the fold into an uninhabited piece of land. this would demonstrate how it could be used as a weapon without actually damaging his own country or causing countless deaths
