He just found it such a shame that so often they were outnumbered and outclassed by those who had a vesteg interest in leaving things as they were. Moralia's relationship with the Advanced European Union came to mind.
Studying history in school. It was something so mundane, so normal that he felt a little surge of jealousy and wistfullness at the thought of it. Almost everything he'd learned had been from Celestial Being. "I know political history, how the current world situation came to be, but I was never taught anything much beyond that."

The oil exporting countries are suffering though because of the restrictions on oil exports, and because the three main powers control the elevators, they control the power too and can demand compliance in return for supply."

"There are space colonies, yes. They're not hugely developed yet. There's not been any mass exodus or anything like that, but they exist, people live there and travel is fairly cheap using the elevators." He sighed softly and nodded. "I just hope some good comes from what we've been doing." He'd hate to have further bloodied his hands for nothing.
