The Empire will demonize the rebellion no matter what. The rebellion could do everything exactly, perfectly right - could be the most pacifist and politic organization imaginable - and they would still be demonized by the Empire, because what they fundamentally want (to not be oppressed) is a direct threat to the Empire's fundamental aims.

I don't like Luthen as a person. There are times I hate him. There are also times I question whether the actions he sincerely believes are necessary are, with a scaled out view, actually necessary, or if they're merely contributing to the cyclical nature of political unrest and upheaval. To what extend do we (the vulnerable, innocent, and often complacent members of society) feel that men like Luthen are a necessary evil because of the existence men like Luthen (i.e. ruthless, ends-justify-the-means thinkers who are willing to place their own convictions above any systemic rule of codes or ethics)? I think this is a valid question, and not one with a simple answer.

I do not believe that the role Luthen serves in the rebellion is an equation that can be solved, with a clear and definitive answer of either "Net Good" or "Net Bad." I don't think it can ever be as simple as that. Luthen is selfless in how he gives his own life to the cause, but he also sacrifices unwilling others to the cause, and in doing so he overrides their autonomy in the most absolute and unpardonable way possible. Luthen is a hero. Luthen is monstrous.

There are no easy or comforting answers.
