ok now for the real answer.
fight back. The present day Eldeans are innocent and have the right of self defense. They do not have to lay down and die to appease the rest of the world which we already established does not have any rightful claim to a moral highground whatsoever.
The way they would fight back is by unleashing a partial rumbling that targets all known military installations around the world in addition to oil rigs and any other such strategic targets, minimizing casualties where possible. This buys time until they can negotiate and gain the acknowledgment of the developed world as a legitimate state.
Why doesnt Eren do this? Idk, maybe the author wanted to force his ending and made Eren stupidly or selfishly, take your pick, hijack the whole operation and doom everyone. Just plot induced stupidity if you asked me.
So, you've given an argument. Doesn't work i would say, titans dont end, the whole Titan passing still doesnt end, the 50 year plan was not trustworthy. Yelena was talking about military bases to be attacked which eren didnt settle for, and why should he? You think they wont develop a counter Technology? Real world nukes blow the fuck out of those rumbling titans, 1960s was it when the first nuke was made? Marley had tech like in 1920-1930s, now add the pressure of rumbling at your doors, things speed up, well have specific anti-rumbling titan tech or bombs or nukes to fuck paradis up. Paradis tech is pretty
weak compared to the outside world aside from their Titans, which eren took away in the end (what an idiot i would say, man didnt care for Paradis, just his friends).
why do titans need to end. because of their military threat.
but you just stated that technological development would eclipse the threat posed by titans very soon. so then why do titans need to end? that is why i prefaced my answer earlier, because this is a question that needs an answer based in objective morality.
and your assumption of the rest of the world developing technology rapidly is wrong. thats literally the whole entire point of the partial rumbling. to stunt the worlds technological progress so Paradis can catch up, but also broker deals and establish alliances. if all your key infrastructure gets stomped on you cant just immediately get nukes. that is the whole entire strategic advantage of the rumbling. you can use it to stunlock the world.
Also, just because you see the tide turning in the future doesnt mean there is no point in fighting for your life today. that is absurd.
now let me guess. your next argument is that if more people die then that is a worse outcome for humanity and therefore one side should just give up and die, so the bigger population should survive.
