I'm just pissed off that he insists of that "a time of peace" propaganda, instead of uniting all of mankind against Salem, with her as the common enemy. 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.

And even then, one good look around the world can easily rebut "a time of peace." 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.

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.
