Pure Theme of Hate

Why can't we all just get along? The dystopian world of Pure is just filled with loathing; the Pures hate the wretches, the wretches hate the Pures, everyone hates OSR and OSR hates everyone.

And when people start hating people, they start playing the blame game—because the world is filled with so much suffering and discrimination, the only answer is to point fingers. And explode heads. And plant bugs in people's eyes. And kill innocent grandfathers.
