Bug likes to interfere. A lot. Maybe even did some bullshit with "heroes" in the long past, idk.The Ol' "The Heir, The Spare, The I don't care"
Wait, how does a goddess actually have influence over the laws pertaining to how many wives people have?
I get the blessing naturally making "Being a Pretty" a sought out trait, I don't see how she would have influenced this particular thing though.
Does the Bug have a Holy Book? How does Polygamy even "Enrich" people, it takes a lot of money and resources to raise and maintain a family - and this is triple true for this structure where you have third wives and onwards that just are there to drain resources and put the family in potentially bad positions.

I've been rereading this and only remembered how he got in power. Rediscovering his plans for Lime for his opposition and the way the see the orphanage as a tool of recruitment is sickening.its shocking to know that despite these 3 women are quite bitchy, rembrant and moris are far more evil/cruel.
The Goddess could just send a vision saying that to beautify the hyumans, polygamy will be encouraged, so only the most beautiful and powerful can spread their genes. And we can see that worked. All the hyumans are attractive. Nobles have children with merchants, merchants with commoners and such. The beauty blood is poured downstream from the top. I'd say her policy was effective at making her favorite group more attractive. It might have even made the demons attractive by proxy :VThe Ol' "The Heir, The Spare, The I don't care"

Having multiple wives is a sign of status and wealth. They have more wives BECAUSE they're wealthy, not the other way around.Bug likes to interfere. A lot. Maybe even did some bullshit with "heroes" in the long past, idk.
Also, polygamy isn't so much "enriching" as it is solidifying existing class connections so the nobility and what not can loot the commoners (or in this case the demons first then the commoners) harder.
If the demons could at all be convinced not to genocide, they'd be 110% the good guys, but instead they're just the not-quite-so-evil guys (the 'heroes' are more or less war-criminal tier)

You're a socialist yapping about class struggles, as if socialist countries don't have their own elites. There will ALWAYS be an upper class in a society. You need to start having a life.bro needs to read engels, sometime this decade
and or learn about any monarchy ever
you tell others to start having a life and then say the most bleak, absolutist shit possible (let us have a life together, laying flatter than the loli's chest, to borrow TWA's words, yes, that's what having a life is)You're a socialist yapping about class struggles, as if socialist countries don't have their own elites.

TWA? You can't expect others to know every acronym, man. Even in socialist countries there were elites. Having a hierarchy is a defining trait of living in a society, be it corporatist or communist. Even if there was anarchy and everyone was equal, eventually some guy will gather a group and start ordering others around through force. Then they'll become the top dog.you tell others to start having a life and then say the most bleak, absolutist shit possible (let us have a life together, laying flatter than the loli's chest, to borrow TWA's words, yes, that's what having a life is)
i mean even hegel can cook your ass but ok
and this is before we consider issues like
oh and then there's the issue of primitive socialism; is that not society? or is a few matrons of a tribe, in charge of inventory and distribution, enough to constitute an "upper class" in your definition? that's the only way your statement holds there.
- only the most primitive form of socialism has been constructed, a far, FAR cry and a long way away from the total destruction of class
- the softening/mitigation of class disparity has been more successfully achieved in some places like north korea (inb4 RFA propaganda) than others (vietnam, laos, china)
- the existence of elites doesn't mean everyone else has to get bombed to death, and in fact, some countries are much better about not bombing people to death en masse than others... gee, i fucking wonder who.
"bumbling" you say? then let's bumble together, why don't we.
for you the primary contradiction is faux intellectualism? lol.TWA? You can't expect others to know every acronym, man. Even in socialist countries there were elites.

Mentioning a name then not expanding on it can be seen as a sign of pseudo-intellectualism. You have to explain how he would cook my ass.
Deconstructing class is impossible lol. Even in North Korea the elites are still wealthier than the commoners. You're expecting the impossible. As long as there is civilization, there will be hierarchy. Hierarchy means classes. It's like you never let that childhood dream of making things come true with your mind let go. I'm from a former socialist nation so I'm baffled you think socialism will have no classes lol.
Why are you bringing bombs? What's the relation of bombs to classes? You can't bring an idea out of nowhere and then expect others to understand it. Are you using drugs or sleep deprived?
Do these matrons have more privilege than the others? And you can't expect more wants from people whose main issue is survival. Their food source is not guaranteed. There's a reason when food became more abundant through agriculture and animal husbandry, people started to see beyond their survival. Ambition.
So if you truly want a functional socialism, live in a tribe. Even then, the tribe has to be small enough.
bro now you're yapping, not guaranteed is when hunting grounds have been established, they have stores of pemmican to last a season if not two, etc. Not seeing beyond their survival is when doing hand-crafts, divination, etc. and then you bring up ambition, which is exactly the reason some people take an interest in class war and directing it so its preconditions are removed (i.e. so that classes as a whole are obviated); for someone who puts such importance on ambition, this caveat to its power seems very arbitrary.food source is not guaranteed... see beyond their survival... ambition.

I'm being a realist. There will always be classes, and making socialism to be the answer to this question is regtarded, as socialism doesn't even end the classes. It just replaces the elites.for you the primary contradiction is faux intellectualism? lol.
sure, i'll focus my points more.
your argument is basically, "there will always be hierarchy/elites, hence class war is stupid."
I won't even debate the premise, because this is more or less axiomatic; you're a doomer, i'm not. Shucks. Regardless:
Why don't you go and become a chattel slave in libya? There will always be elites, there will always be hierarchy, so why don't you go become one of those scam-center operators in south/east asia? Why don't we take the entire world back to feudalism, where you're tied to the land and hopefully (maybe! if you're really really lucky) a good landlord? "class conflict is dumb," so why don't we go get a philosopher king? lol.
as for bombs, the current class conflict is directly leading into the elites carpet bombing the "non-elites," even when said non-elites have done very little wrong (besides existing). So, you arguing that "class conflict is dumb" is basically asking the bombed to accept being bombed. Not the position i'd take, but y'know, "bumbling socialist."

Your type are really good at misconstruing meanings. Refer to the previous sentence for why your argument is hollow. Please go to North Korea to live your socialist dreams.
Are you bombs literal or do you mean figuratively? If literal, then the commoners always take the brunt force of any attack. It's been this way ever since we had civilization. And that's because commoners are the majority of the population. In modern times however the elites have more opportunities and means to not be harmed.
Their lifestyle is still primitive, as their food source is not guaranteed. Again, with the removing classes thing.
You seem to be conflating culture with human nature. Human nature is the integral part of being a human. Humans will do anything to get food when pushed to starvation, even cannibalism. But there used to be tribes who had cannibalistic rituals as part of their culture. The former is human nature, the second is culture. When there's a tribe, there are always tribal leaders. It may be a tribal chieftain or a group of tribal elders. For there to be order, there must be a hierarchy. Thus from this hierarchy can the upper class be born, be it in priesthood or nobility.
