Hey, it's Rome in the century before Caesar. Romans were put out of work and their land taken for a pittence if not outright stolen because slave labor maxamized profits.

Why would greedy, Godless (or "Godly" who believe the same thing Victorian Brits did, that 'those people' are trash condemned by God), bastards now be any different than they were then?

They're the same fallen species who placated the masses with bread and circuses 2100 years ago so without the restraint of some kind of mass concensus on where the limits are they'll do exactly the same things.

There is no difference except they lie better and can broadcast it to millions.
