User blog:ChishioKunrin/"We're in a Time of Peace" Propaganda - The Reason

We keep hearing about Vale, or maybe even all of the kingdoms, being in "a time of peace" when it certainly doesn't look that way. We all know that Ozpin damn well knows this, and Lindsay actually said that this "time of peace" is what is highly publicized and could be considered propaganda.

So, what's up with all this "We're in a time of peace" propaganda if they're not actually in a time of peace? Shouldn't the people know that something's up and be prepared for it?

Well, it kind of just hit me while I was discussing World of Remnant: Grimm and what it revealed.

We learned from both Oobleck and WoR that the Grimm are attracted to negative emotions. Some people here and possibly on other websites think that Cinder's goal may be to generate enough chaos in Vale to attract Grimm to the kingdom, leading to an attack.

In WoR: Kingdoms, we learned that nomadic groups and villages outside the kingdoms have a tendency to completely vanish. WoR: Grimm revealed why: Panic. Grimm attacks make the villagers or nomads afraid, fear spreads among them, more Grimm are attracted to that fear, and panic ultimately becomes their undoing.

The reason they're spreading this "We're in a time of peace" propaganda is because if everyone in Vale panicked, Grimm would attack.
