Chapter 663  reaction (2)

No matter what you do—whether it's bad, good, or somewhere in between—once it's on the internet, you'll always receive both positive and negative reactions. There's always someone who either reads too deeply into the words or not deeply enough.

Some people can read or listen but struggle to comprehend the message as the writer or speaker intended. The moment they hear something, it passes through their personal filters before the brain starts to process what was being said or written.

As a result, people often hear what they want to hear rather than what was actually communicated. This was precisely the case with the emperor’s speech; he was not exempt from such misinterpretations.

And the majority of these people were among the most prolific users of social media, eager to express their opinions. Consequently, they voiced their feelings and reactions moments after the emperor finished his speech and it resulted in quite a mess.

There were those who believed that the emperor was using the announcement to hide something.

@truth_beleiver243r67: [Why do I suspect that the emperor is using this announcement to deflect responsibility for the deaths of the explorers? It seems like he’s initially downplaying the situation by mentioning only a few deaths, with the intention of later revealing that the rest were killed by the new species when they just exploded en route there.]

@Missinformationresponded52134:  [@truth_beleiver243r67 Do you think you are making sense? This is like causing 9/11 to avoid a school exam. Also, why acknowledge it now when he could delay it as long as he needed?]

@truth_beleiver243r67: [@Missinformationresponded52134 That is because he can’t silence astronomers for longer since the light of their explosion will reach us in a few years if the explosion happens in the last few months or so. And when they see it, they will have to speak about it.]

@truth_beleiver243r67: [@Missinformationresponded52134 Where did you go? Are you afraid to say anything now that I have given you the reason? People like you are the ones who like to talk without evidence and speak as if they know everything]

There were those who took something from the announcement that reopened wounds, and they were in the process of healing.

@Emperorhater7412: [Did the emperor just admit to sending hundreds of millions of people to eternal damnation simply because they did not recognize him as the ruler?]

@NotLikeUs: [What do you mean?]

@Emperorhater7412: [He just publicly acknowledged the existence of faster-than-light travel, meaning he sent more than a hundred million people, including my dad, on ships that couldn’t travel faster than a fraction of light speed, making their journey take anywhere between a thousand years and tens of thousands of years to arrive where he is sending them.]

@Idonotagree: [@Emperorhater7412: What if the technology was discovered after they were gone? It doesn’t matter if it is a stretch, but that, too, is an explanation that doesn’t make him that much of a villain, you think. They were going to be continually causing problems if they were left, and I believe he did that because that was the best decision he could come up with at that moment.]

@Emperorhater7412: [If what you are saying is true, then now that he has everything under control, he should bring them back. Currently, he is capable of sending ships that can reach them with just a few months of FTL despite them being traveling for more than a year. So he should go for them and bring them back.]

@Idonotagree: [Unfortunately, I can't agree with that view. Initially, I was skeptical about the empire and saw the leader as a power-hungry megalomaniac. However, the past few years under his rule have been the best I’ve experienced in terms of governance. I now have a stable home, something I never thought possible before. Even times when I had to be frugal with my meals are a thing of the past.

Do you think those ultranationalistic individuals who were put in stasis will come back and appreciate the improvements? No, they will awaken with their old grievances intact, having missed the progress made. Their return could disrupt the stability we've worked so hard to achieve. Do we really want to risk that upheaval now, just as things have begun to settle?]

Then there were those who were solely focusing on the technology acknowledged in the announcement and took to express how it should be used by the empire.

@warmonger: [Why didn’t they announce that they had the technology when they discovered it and kept it to themselves? Shouldn’t they share this technology for the betterment of humanity? #Selfishempire #releasethetechnology]

@bıfaeleıfno: [@warmonger Are you dumb?]

@warmonger: [@bıfaeleıfno What do you mean? You don’t want the tech to be shared for the betterment of humanity?]

@bıfaeleıfno: [@warmonger What are you going to use it for? Isn’t the current technology enough for you to go anywhere in the solar system in less than a week? For the betterment of humanity? Isn’t the empire already doing that by sending out exploration fleets? Also, what makes you think the empire discovered this technology and not one of his private companies, hence them privately owning that technology and were just sharing it with the empire?

That tech currently can only be put to use by the empire alone, and they are amidst doing that. and if you say making travel short within the solar system, you seem to have forgotten that there is a speed limit within the solar system, and we are currently capable of going faster than that but they are limiting it for safety.

Think before speaking foolishly, but them acknowledging it is enough, as that means it is possible for the tech to be discovered, so raise your ass and go to research city to build it yourself and stop complaining. ]

Such discussions were among the many that were taking place, with some jocking some mourning, some just enjoying the discoveries, some denying them, and some just enjoying the moment, but that didn't mean that they weren't waiting for the release of evidence that was going to take place a month.
