How do people come to the conclusion that grisha oppression is the Darkling’s fault for creating the fold? Even in the show, we literally see Grisha being hunted and killed before the fold exists. Baghra herself says there is now a war against grisha because Aleksander helped the king win his war (pre fold). If you think it’s his fault for creating the fold, you’re being intentionally obtuse.
Find canon reasons to hate the Darkling, please🤦🏻♀️

... The skiffs were loaded with grain, timber, and raw cotton, but on the trip back they would be stocked with sugar, rifles, and all manner of finished goods that passed through the seaports of West Ravka.
Shadow and Bone- Chapter 2 (Leigh Bardugo)
One of the first things they've taught us during geography class was the easiest way to tell developed countries from underdeveloped ones- the first group cares about their resources and exports finished goods of high value, while the later exports raw materials with no added value. (East) Ravka acts as the underdeveloped backwards shithole it is.
Ravka doesn't have larger water bodies, or many rivers- where do they get water for all that cotton? Does that mean they've already used it all up?! And what about their climate? Do they have some special variety that grows faster?
Why are they importing sugar, when they could easily make it from sugar beets? Perhaps even export it instead of that stupid cotton that's much more demanding to grow and process.
... all manners of finished goods. *facepalms so hard it causes a concussion* As I mentioned above... let's say it would be much more beneficial to invite foreign specialists to teach current population to produce said finished goods themselves. It doesn't just save money for buying it, it offers job opportunities, education for workers and the surplus can be sold.
Ravka isn't fucked because the Fold's in the way of trade- its greatest issue is shitty management of their resources. And the wording makes it look as if the West was dragged to the bottom alongside the East, if the commodities "pass through their seaports" instead of being produced at least on their soil. No wonder they want to secede.
