Description
Continuing with my fairly infrequent series of redesigning alicorns into cosmic entities, I present to you Princess Cadance. Like love itself, her true form is fluid, elusive, and constantly in flux. Unless she is constantly making an effort to contain herself, her form will expand to fill whatever container it is in, and unwary companions will find that beneath her surface is a nigh-infinite ocean of pink fluid.

Aside from what the Doctor says, there’s also RL that goes against what Sabbath says- the most democratic and free countries in the world also tend to be some of the least unequal countries in the world in terms of economics. People in the Nordics tend to view the social democratic welfare state and strong unions as a means of extending freedom- freedom from poverty, freedom to start your own business or do that job you always wanted without having to worry about poverty, freedom from employer force, freedom to determine how your workplace works via codetrmination and to not have your work benefit, say autocrats (think sales to authoritarian governments).

What kind of word salad was that?
““But you haven’t rebutted my argument.”
“Which is what? That humanity is fundamentally base and needs to be controlled? That a democratic society with civil liberties is a society with social inequality and crime, whereas a police state, by silencing its dissidents, can guarantee a rough egalitarianism and public safety - so that a poet’s freedom to be subversive is invariably bought by the suffering of the poor? That the rule of the people too easily becomes the rule of the mob? That the centre of every human being is self-interest and even virtue is corrupt? That they are animals whose moral sense degenerates as soon as their bellies aren’t full? That idealism has killed as many as viciousness and there is no philosophy, however noble, that can’t be turned to depraved ends? That people will always fear, and as long as they fear they will hate?”
“There is ample evidence for the truth of everything you’ve just said. History makes my case for me. Can you, in all intellectual honesty, deny it?”
“No.”
“Then why?” said Sabbath, genuinely puzzled. “You’re not stupid about these matters. You’re not starry-eyed, or basically impractical. You can see what reality is. Why don’t you accept it?”
The Doctor was sitting back in his chair, his clasped hands resting against his chest. “Because I prefer not to.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Because I don’t, won’t accept it. I don’t approve. Injustice is the rule, but I want justice. Suffering is the rule, but I want to end it. Despair accords with reality, but I insist on hope. I don’t accept it, because it is unacceptable. I say no.””

Hate has motivated entire nations to go to war, love could just barely motivate enough of America to get civil rights passed, and even after that hate still persisted, and still does
Love is fleeting, hate only gets stronger with time
Love when broken inevitably gives way to negative emotions, especially hate
Love can lead to jealousy, jealousy leads to hate
Love itself can breed hate
There is plenty of proof that hate is much stronger than love is and ever will be
I’m with you right up until that last part - love and hate are pretty evenly matched, as far as I can see. It’s all a matter of, no pun intended, which horse you choose to back.

Until she decided to let them go, or they were able to swim up to her surface again.
So she’s a nigh-infinite amount of pink fluid? So if she encased a pony, they would get lost within her forever?
