White, black, and red - Order through structure, action, and opportunity.
White: Order through structure means having strict rule-
Red: Ha! Rules schmules
White: Why must you be like this
Black: Because they are. Simple as that.
White: Ugh… here we go again
Red: So tell me, who exactly defined what order is? Order doesn’t mean peaceful. Hell, I’d call most order not peaceful
White: Order is the way the world should be organized, so that the most people gain the best access to what they have and need, its a system where everyone is allowed to live
Black: No, it isn’t.
White: What? What do you mean?
Black: Order is how things are organized in a logical manner, yes, but they are not inherently ordered around “goodness”
Red: See! Black gets it!
White: Ok ok, so what do you two propose order as?
Black: Easy. Order is how the world is organized. Order should be based on power.
White: Power?
Black: Yes. Power. The people at the top have the power, they make the rules and everyone else plays by them
Red: Eh, I can see where you’re coming from black, but I don't fully agree with that. Order is how the world is organized. Order should be based around freedom
White: Freedom? How?
Red: Order should be based on saying “here is everything we don’t allow. If it's not written here, it's a free game.” It should show the hand everyone starts with, metaphorically speaking, and clarify what is not an option. It shouldn’t just rule out personal thoughts and motives. It's the difference between telling someone they can’t do something while they’re in the middle of it versus telling someone up front they can’t do that and allowing them to think of other options for themselves. You want the world to be even? Give everyone the same playing field.
White: I can’t believe I’m actually saying this…. But that actually makes some kind of sense.
Red: See! I’m not against structure, I'm against pointless structure. Whatever rules are made should be as simple and all encompassing as possible. No complicated legalese telling specifics, it should be all about giving people the information they need.
Black: Ok, I want to chime in here. I can see you two agreeing on this but I want to remind you I’m also here. I think order should be used to put the powerful, me, at the top. How does that fit into your little utopia plan?
White: Uh….what… what if… oh Serra I’m actually saying this and kind of meaning it. What if we base the order around power, so that the person in charge declares the base rules and others can interpret them. What if… what if we all stay together at the top and set out guidelines that others can live with.
Black: How does that give us power though?
Red: Oh! I get it! It gives us power because we have the ability to change the rules once we’re on top. We can stop others from taking our place by blocking the path we used to get there with new rules!
Black: Hmm… interesting. I can’t believe it's actually happening… but I think we may have an agreement here.
White: Holy shit that’s a first.
Red: Wait we can cuss!? YOU CAN CUSS!?
White: Yeah, no shit.
Black: You’re both fucking idiots.
Red: I hate you both, but I think that’s an agreement. Truce?
White and Black: - Truce.
