@cstross : I see the Tolstoy sentence as "every side of a story must believe it is the good one". (so basically what you told)

Like you, I don’t like manichaeism. That’s a problem I have even with classic stories: I don’t see how Sauron can seen himself as doing good, which killed the whole story for 11yo me.

(I’ve heard here on Mastodon there’s now a book written from his own perspective, it may change my mind on this subject)
