I'm pissed off he keeps all these secrets thinking that people are like children who behave like rabid animals should they learn the truth, which is a condescendingly stupid way of thinking. Newsflash, people will find out eventually, and they'll be even more pissed than before. Disclosing all these things and weaponizing this information against said common enemy will be a better idea. Yes, that shows the great paradox of Ozpin's beliefs. He hails human resiliency and the power of unity, yet he keeps said humans in the dark about what's really going on in the world. Heck, he doesn't tell over 99% of the Huntsmen what's going on. For all of his speeches about his faith in humans, his actions say he has faith in no one but himself to resolve the threat of Salem, something he's never been able to do up until the present.

Villages are a hit and miss, Mantle is in an economic depression (barring the hazardous mines, of course) due to being an economy and a class of people left behind, an incompetent moron insists on being in charge of Atlas' foreign policy, Mistral can barely hold its own together, Bandits like the Branwens are prevalent, and Vacuo is basically Mad Max: The Country. And of course the WF and the Grimm showing up every time there's a crisis. This could be the "one huge lie" spoken about in "Time to Say Goodbye". Many of the songs talk about lies, and most of the time it's directed at Ozpin. With this much evidence, one must wonder can it all be wrong?

Gundam Legilis wrote: Also, fuck Oz in particular for not immediately mobilizing to the bandit camp the day after Weiss and Yang reunite with RNJR. With their testimony, their combined skills are more than enough for the vast majority of the bandits. Hell, they could've negotiated with the Branwens earlier than the villains did. Assuming Qrow didn't waste an entire month trying to find Huntsmen (which should by all means, have taken him one day with the mission boards and his personal contacts), more lives are going to be massacred all because he insisted on waiting until the last second before the Attack of Haven, all because he just had to wait and twiddle his thumbs. Yes, once again he does nothing when decisive action would've made a huge difference and turned the tide in his favor. Doing nothing is what led to the Fall of Beacon, yet Ozpin seems none the wiser. And as one person said, "evil always triumphs when good people do nothing." We're seeing it now with Ozpin.
