>Adulthood is seeing that autocracy is the way to go.
No, that's edgy teenage years. Adulthood is understanding that no matter what system of power you take, it will always be ruined by humans running it.

But autocracy is the system for gifted individuals take the reigns of powers and better society
>>156897315
Other way around.
Naive children and stupid people tend to believe that they can fix all of the world's problems by interfering in people's lives as much as possible. Prior to the invasion of Marxism (a totalitarian ideology), the west was exhibit A for how well things work when you just lay down a few basic safeguards against power as well as a few basic laws against things like violence and theft and then let the individuals within the country take care of themselves.

And then they set that system up so their idiot son can inherit power and it goes shit
>>156897315
They only people who believe that are always the leaders of the autocracy themselves, and the examples they always use to cite is that if you ignore all the horrible shit they do, sometimes they can be more efficient.

The base premise you show here is pretty good but your example is fucking stupid.

Lurk more. Stop posting /b/shit memes and learn how to properly save images.
Childhood is rooting for the Alliance because you were taught in school that democracy is better than autocracy.
Adolescence is rooting for the Empire because you are forging your own identity by rejecting what your elders taught you.
Young adulthood is rooting for the Alliance because they are plucky underdogs and their futile struggle inspires you.
Mid-life crisis is rooting for the Empire because the world is a scary mess and you just want someone strong to take hold and fix it all.
Deathbed enlightenment is rooting for the Alliance because it really doesn't matter who wins "in the end", because all humans and all societies meet their ends eventually. But in its brief life, the Alliance shone so brightly that it was more worthwhile than the dim glows of a thousand Empires. There's nothing wrong with the Alliance passing on, you realize, and there's nothing wrong with you doing the same.

Wouldn't that better describe the Reinhard restoration rather than the Alliance?
Whilst the FPA was a nice thing during its beginnings, it became a horrible mess by the end.
It was something like the FPA which gave rise to the Empire, in fact.
It's unlikely that the order brought by Reinhard and his men will last, but it's likely to be remembered down in history as a Golden Era, even if short lived.
I think the most powerful lesson this show teaches is that nothing is eternal.
Today's revolutionaries are tomorrow's tyrants and oppressors.
Today's golden capitals are tomorrow's forgotten ruins.
All human societies start with hopes of a better tomorrow and end up decadent and corrupt, only to create the next generation of heroes for the next page of mankind's history
