What is the issue with a writer being straightforward with what they have to say? This isn't me saying every piece of fiction needs to make it blatantly obvious what the themes or morals are but I see this criticism a lot.

    "And Ahiga the Navajo suffered more from the whims and violence the strangers from far across the sea had brought; for one day they would ask but that he work a mere hour's worth in a day, and on another that he work an hour's worth in a minute, and on other days they would commit violence merely because he was within their sight, all this and to say nothing of the nonexistent peace his family had. Almost every day he wondered what the meaning of it all was.

    Kill colonizers. That's it. That's the meaning. Kill them all, kill them again, and then kill them back to where they came from, and then kill them there too to really drive the point home. Suffer not the colonizer to live, and while we're at it, imperialists too, disgusting scum sucking leech filled pustules. Also Ahiga is Navajo for 'to fight' in case you missed the message you damn lib."
