TURNsgiving 2025: "Walking a mile in their shoes"

Academic (sociology, anthropology, philosophy, history and historiography by proxy) answer: wrong question, because I am South Asian, they should try walking several thousand lifetimes in mine, the only 'morally correct' and to be cheered events that I will get behind in every universe and lifetime of the 18th century are The Haitian Revolution and the several times the Mughal Dynasty tried (and failed) to fight off the British East India company because cause and effect are real, in both cases the strategy in question, is: taste of your own medicine, and if you must know the most relatable character in TURN: Washington's Spies to me in terms of real life lived experience is Abigail, guess why. I have no horse in the race; you all lose. Even if I did, I would lose anyway because history is a litany of injustice(s).

Whimsical (fandom) answer: I still 'do not go here', but I relate to Benjamin Tallmadge for the reason most of the fandom does. Abigail, Lola, John André, Benjamin Tallmadge, Anna Strong, Mary Woodhull, and John Graves Simcoe get behind me now in that order. I suppose, whatever Audrey(my original character) has going on, that being; "I do not go here, nor have I (in universe) learned the extent of the worst evil being in man as regards this war and all wars, and every revolution being a civil war, but, I can appreciate your earnestness of belief, a code of ethics which mandates some manner of forward societal progress and your zeal, but, I still do not go here nor would I want too, it sounds excruciating and I've seen enough of that which I was never asked beforehand about, thank you, messier."
