The very idea that a whole continent of people are all untrustworthy and dishonorable is absurd enough, but the only thing you're basing this on is the word of the conquerors of these very people. Of course they're going to claim that they were bringing enlightenment to a barbaric people. That's how most hegemonic powers have justified their expansions in history. I find it absurd that you swallow all their crap completely, and then use this to state that a whole continent is tainted.
Further, if the people of the Wetlands have an inherent system of justice and honor that will allow them to survive the absence of the Seanchan, what justification do they have for their invasion and their intent to export their bigotry and persecution?

I would be mostly okay with it if they abolished slavery first

Hopefully the Dragon's Peace (not the one Avi saw the effects of) those concerns. *NM*

there's tons of problems there, but 20+ leaders/royals killed? Disaster anywhere... *NM*

Rand deserves some credit, he did get involved early and held the Lion Throne for Elayne. *NM*

The anarchy is what happens in the absence of Seanchan power.

Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance.

It's not the Empire's fault, and that flaw is not being duplicated in the wetlands

It's like you don't even read anything when you post. My posts, the books themselves...

They treat channelers like DOGS! so, No. *NM*

The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan.

That's what's scary. In many ways, the Seanchan embody the goals of the Pattern

If we're going to personify things, we should be personifying the Wheel, not the Pattern.

"We" don't know of the One Power existing, so obviously it disappears. *NM*

Lack of knowledge doesn't mean the One Power vanishes or is destroyed.

If OP still existed, you'd still have sparkers even "today". *NM*
