You also cannot promote to pawn. So the real message is you can't be yourself.
I think many pawns, perhaps even most pawns, stay pawns their entire life. And that's always been good enough for them.
Imho to be a pawn means to be moved around by external strong forces.
And that can never be ok. Because every human is the god/king/creator of his own life and no one else has say in it - as long as he doesn't influence another's freedom.
What's so fucking hard about that for society?
Wouldn't it be nicer, if everyone could do whatever the fuck feels necessary for him and the society he cares about?
I've nothing against money, because it has great value in communicating, well, value.
But the imperialistic capitalism we currently ride is not even just not sustainable, it also brings misery to do many people, while we technically would have the means to prevent raid misery.
It's just stupid all around...
All you gotta do is take on a grueling journey behind enemy lines, most likely dying or just being stalled forever. If you make it, you will probably outlive half your friends and have to abandon some.
You can be "anything" but you'll never have what you really wanted in the first place, stability. Stability isn't for warriors to have.
