I've had quite the argument with watchmen today. Some of them come from the slums, and they believe they are doing well, protecting the poor - oh, how deeply mistaken they are. A false beacon of hope is not enough to solve the systematic problems of our society. They do not truly help - it is a mere strategy under the bias of a smoke curtain. Accepting the City Watch means accepting the rotten facade organizated by the monarchy to maintain the people poor.
Allow me to elucidate. They deceive us into thinking the only way to fight the putrid nobility is by joining the City Watch, because, of course, the state holds the monopoly of coercion. The problem is, this bias generates a cicle of alienation. They create enforcers of the bourgeois law to fight against the bourgeois corruption, when it shouldn't exist in the first place. The people from the slums who join the City Watch, thinking that they will be able to make the nobility pay for the crimes - I am sorry, but you fell for the deceiving discourse this system propagates.
By making you join the City Watch or even the First Light, they segregate you. The united people of the slums would be enough, if they are armed, to stop the oppression from the higher classes. With that being said - segregating a few is the genesis to a false sensation of helping. It is literally giving crumbs to the people who deserve the whole bread. Why should the people need the nobility and the monarchy's approval to control the nobility and the monarchy? And their influence is so high, so gargantuan, that escaping imprisonment reveals itself to like drinking water to them.
Therefore, members of the City Watch that come from the slums, I must congratulate you. The act of protecting the poor is a benevolent cause - but you are doing it the wrong way. Perhaps one day, when the workers are armed against the filthy monarchy, you will realize - or even sooner. This newspaper recommends you to review your ideals. Do not be brainwashed by this rotten system. Escape your shackles.
