>>5279208That's kind of the point though. Silver thinks like this because everyone in the world has told him it works exactly like this.
The people who enslaved him, Mary's parents showing the Navy doesn't care, Eliza showing him how to fight for his freedom because no one else is going to give it to him, Blueno pre-leg amputation telling him those with power make the laws, the R.A. spinning the wheel of revolution so hard it landed right back on oppression, Blackbeard, Mama, Kaido, the list goes on.
Silver's utopia is simply that world stripped of all artifice and mysticism. No half assed excuses, no "will from on high" bullshit, no "it's for the good of the people" lies.
You're changing the world through force because that's the only way the world changes. Either you beat it into compliance or it'll beat you.
You want your dreams to be real? You want your world to be perfect? You want your life to be what you imagine it to be? Then pick up a bat and start swinging mother fucker.
