[ Oh, you've gotten her started. Fiercely: ]

I've come from a place where the government happily decides who's worthy of life and who isn't. Where they grind the commoners under their heel and strip of us our rights and even our lives if they so please. They send us to war and murder us if we dare to speak up about it. And they consider living, sentient beings a resource to be enslaved and tortured to maintain the power to keep us all under heel. Them stealing our livelihoods from us is the least of their crimes.
