I can't really blame you at all. Bad enough the Machines have been overwriting redpills and propagating the myth of bluepill reinsertion. But over the past few days we've learned that killing bluepills is just fine...the end justifies the means; and that humans are being kept in pods for some other reason besides energy.
I know the traditional association of The Merovingian and Merovingians in general is with power and riches and selfishness. But I have a different perspective.
As far as The Merovingian himself, granted he is hardly a saint, but neither is he really the black-hatted evil cartoonlike villain everyone makes him out to be. In all of my interactions with him he has been a total gentleman. Cordial and polite and apprecitive of mine and others' service. Never once has he rasied his voice to me in anger. In addition you may have noticed a different aspect of his personality as of late. Where as before he may have been motivated by power, greed, etc.; lately he seems to be motivated by genuine intellectual curiosity about our world. He now understands there is more to life than partying in a digital wonderland.
As far as I am concerned, being a Merovingian means truly being free. We are free from Zionite propaganda and Machine control. It is truly a "big tent" organization....we have outlaws, rogues and killers but we also have those who are simply hungry for knowledge, like myself and many of my factionmates here in LET. And as for myself, I value all sentient life. That means humans, machines and exiled programs alike. What would happen to them if Zion or the Machines shut down or crashed the Matrix? And you've gotta respect the exiles. They questioned themselves and their role and came to a realization of freedom. Much like us redpills.
We also have the most interesting cast of characters....Persephone, Malphas, Ookami, Effy, Beirn, the Twins! And we have Succubi and Cake and Club Hel! Even our org construct is light years ahead of the others...My God the Machine one looks like Hitler's bunker! Really just for vareity's sake alone we beat everybody else.
Lastly we are the most stable of all the orgs. No infighting for the past two years, no splinter orgs. Most especially, no deceit. At least The Merovingian has the common decency to be up front and honest about what his goals are.
Well I don't intend to try to convert you but no matter what happens I hope you figure out what's best for you.
