The Amazon series “The Expanse” has started to unfold its complex narrative, offering a thought-provoking commentary on our current state of politics. Set in a future where two planets, Earth and Mars, are on the brink of war, the show explores the gray areas between right and wrong.
In the midst of this conflict, the “belters,” those living in the asteroid belt, are torn between their loyalty to both sides. Amidst the chaos, the true moral compass is revealed through a pivotal scene: a riot breaks out on Ceres, with police trying to restore order while children are caught in the crossfire.
The question remains: who are the good guys? The answer lies not with the two opposing factions or even the authorities, but with those who prioritize protecting the most vulnerable – the children. By putting aside their allegiances and focusing on safeguarding the innocent, these individuals demonstrate a more virtuous approach to conflict resolution.
