There was some talk about the story of Battletech recently that got me thinking about the value of cause and effect storytelling in universe. There are three story beats I think are the seminal moments in Battletech lore that set everything in motion. 🧵 #Battletech

@Correactor @pcgamer Do you know what happens when you don't teach a child not to be violent? They get violent on their own. Competition is inherent in human nature, and without social rules, humans resort to violence as easily as breathing. You are living a delusion based on a world made safe.
