#PennedPossibilities 794 — Describe a “happy life” according to your antagonist?

There is no human antagonist in my current WIP: the antagonist is a vast interlocking system of class and gender oppression that grinds down anyone who opposes it and co-opts anyone who's willing to go along to get along. It's also immortal (unlike our current milieu).

Insofar as there are antagonists they're just content to be rich, happy cogs in a bloodletting machine.

@cstross I can't tell if you are describing a book or the current situation in the USA.

@elroyjetson It's a space opera set in a galaxy far, far away, HOW could you POSSIBLY imagine there might be some relevant political commentary going on there!
