Never really thought of the League's motive but it definitely is weird. I remember in the first film when Raz explains that the league has put an end to many a great empire when their decline had started. But what sense does it make to accelerate their ends with no true motive? Like, it all most sounds like they were trying to maintain some sort of balance or progression, but a balance/progression of what exactly?
Also DK does that cringe thing where general chaos and disorder=anarchy. NGL, for a long time, when I was more of a lib, I viewed anarchy in that way. I guess it isn't shocking how this is how many people see anarchy with how it's usually taught in schools and is represented in mainstream media.
yeah he explains how the league of shadows has been there for all these supposed historical purges of major cities and it's like... dude? The Great Fire of London was you? And the UK then colonized the world? Sounds like you failed!!
It probably makes sense if you're a fascist and believe in "dgeneracy" and social darwinist shit. "This civilization is no longer darwin fit so we most euthanize it to keep the geneseed of the volk strong!" Shit. Fash would just be like "oh yeah Race al-Bannon is just trying to purge the dgenerates from society but bat-fash thinks the city can still be saved before it becomes untermenschopolis and hurts the fitness of,idk, other cities?"
