Lol. All the factions have crap philosophies, that is the point! Especially FWC. It was an amazing move by bungie, subtly pointing out what real humans would do in an actual apocalyptic scenario: Look to some hero to solve their problems for them Run away from it like pansies Just give up entirely and say "fuk it" Lets be clear, NM doesn't want a new government or even a king: They want a messiah figure they can dump their problems on. DO doesn't want to retreat to new territory or explore new area, they want to run away from something they can't shoot to death. FWC is especially bad though, because they literally don't want to do anything new. They just want to keep throwing guardians and even non-guardians at the darkness, despite "knowing" it will fail. So no, none of the factions are good, Especially FWC.
