@phug they're killing each other over the lithium deposits that are on the planet. The Belters want it to trade and make a life for themselves the rce want it so the Belters can't
@phug love when somebody dont understand something so it "makes no sense".
@felixgotrek
Love when someone tries to criticize my opinion when they can't write a proper sentence.
@s34npj
Yes.
I saw the same episode you did.
All I'm saying is, there is a huge planet there full of lithium.
They don't have to be on top of each other fighting over it.
@phug nothing wrong with my comment but ok dude. Try to understand it next time.
@phug you're missing the point. That's what you got if what you care is about money. Nobody gives a fuck about territory - it's about identity.
Belters, especially the OPA strain, think once they got taken away, they wouldn't be able to return. It's a result of years of oppression - they became paranoid because that's what the Inner always did in the past. Earthers, meanwhile, thinks that they're some universe-wide police which can regulate what can and can't people do. They're not arguing over some territory on the planet for the deposit. They're arguing about who can claim the whole damn planet. A planet to call home.
If you spend some time to actually think about it this whole situation reflects the way real-world US deals with the situation in the Middle East. Earth is US. I thought it was obvious for The Expanse intended audience from the start.

This fight for Ilus doesn't make sense.
It's an entire planet but they are killing each other over less than an acre for fucks sake.
One side take the western hemisphere and the other side take the eastern hemisphere.
