    I mean, like a lot of white men I went through an insufferable libertarian, "fuck you the whole world's against me but I'll fucking win" phase when I was younger, and I'd be lying if I said what Kreia said in KOTOR 2 didn't have some influence on that. At least on a concious level. Material conditions, social programming, etc. are a whole other fuck.
