Where they extremists, or just revolutionary? It could be argued that having a ruler that is months away is also extreme.
I do think you make a good point though. No rule is universal
idk. line between extremist & revolutionary is blurry. extremist seems to have a more negative connotation. true about being ruled by someone months away.
Without FTL travel I doubt there can be a galactic civilisation. Just a bunch of infependant solar civilisations. Even a K2 civilisation would be more like a bunch of separate nations.
yeah agree. even now people dont really care about grudges their parents had against other countries. why would people have such long distance allegiances?
