there’s maybe a little shared DNA in the fact that kankri was a social visionary who saw exactly what was wrong with alternia but became a self-righteous crony for the patriarchy on beforus and karkat obviously identifying exactly what was wrong with the quadrants (that such a system naturally tends toward vacillation) but thinking that just means it needs a new set of graphs and charts to govern it instead of realising the foundations of the whole system are arbitrary and meaningless
