I mean he's fighting to free people from a dictatorial caste system under which people who are considered "genetically inferior" seem to be used as near slave labor?

Just a bunch of surfers hanging out with machine guns and climbing equipment totally ready to blow the hell out of strangers after getting drunk with a dude with hooves.

                                                                What is this music? Am I supposed to feel bad that this is happening? I mean I do. The guy is totally in the right for about 75% of his stuff. He def doesn't deserve this treatment. But the rest of this episode has been indicating that I shouldn't feel bad about this.

No man, that doesn't count. It didn't count for Agents of SHIELD (which they learned by the last season, thankfully). And it doesn't count here.
