Müt fur alle; Wort gegen die Ungerechtigkeit.

Magic is a corruption on Aloria. Mages who misuse their power to damage the Empire need to be brought in check. All Vampires and Cahal must be rounded up and cured. Demons must be scorned and mistrusted. Traitors to the Empire must be charged, evaluated by authorities and executed if necessary.
But children who tell white lies need not be executed for their deception. So, too, it stands to reason merely practicing magic or being born a Silven does not warrant one's death, brutalization or harassment.
It would seem most Occult individuals in the city have a story about being victimized by, or knows the story of someone who has been victimized by, Erwin Braunschweiger.
The Hero-Primae Yvrize Clair-vous-blanc taught knights the concept of chivalry: That those with the money and skill to purchase and use a horse and weaponry, should use those means in defense of those without. So too should the wielder of the Blessed Blade of the Glory-Seeker, Sangria, use what powers are conferred by the sword to benefit the people of the Empire, rather than terrorize them:
- Erwin Braunschweiger attacked Evintarian Unionists on the basis of their faith throughout the Bralla-Bronn invasion. Unionists should stand united, and should not devolve into sectarian violence, especially when there are atheists who want to kill our Divine Beings upon our doorstep.
- For weeks, Erwin Braunschweiger harassed employees of the 'Arcane Affinity' in an effort to get them to close down the shop. He kidnapped a Silven employee, dragged them from the shop in Arena Court to Crookback, and held Sangria to their throat and told them he would 'put them down' if they did not close down the store. Setting aside the crime of kidnapping, intimidation with death to shut down a store is far from appropriate, honorable recourse to commerce one disagrees with.
- Erwin Braunschweiger told the aforementioned Silven he wishes to purge the city of all Occult.
- After Magister Anathema of the Hexenblood Circle failed to capture a Cahal for Mister Braunschweiger to cure, he turned on his previous ally and cleaved them in half. This would have killed any were they not infested with magic capable of regenerating their flesh. One should demonstrate greater loyalty and transparency to their allies, and should not seize upon their failure as an excuse to turn on them. Also, it is not to the prerogative of the off-duty rank-and-file Tenpenny Soldier to execute commoners in the streets, in Crookback or elsewhere.
- Erwin Braunschweiger used Sangria to carve Regalian State Law into the flesh of a traitor. All prisoners should be treated with a baseline of dignity and respect—even traitors. And what punishment they are given should be carried out by the State Metropolitan. Erwin Braunschweiger is not judge, a panel of peers and executioner in one.
- One person believes they saw Mister Braunschweiger holding Sangria out for Haqet to examine. Letting Haqet analyze Sangria jeopardizes the blade's integrity. Consorting with the enemy who is responsible for the deaths of 7,000-12,000 Tenpenny Soldiers is a stark betrayal of principle and value.
- Erwin Braunschweiger has assaulted commoners who refused to give him the names of infected vampires because they fear he will kill, and not cure, them. Using violence, or the threat of violence, to extract information from innocent bystanders is dishonorable abuse of the innocent.
- Erwin Braunschweiger is also believed to have committed other extrajudicial killings in the streets in the past several months, although these claims, far in retrospect, cannot be corroborated.
- Countless other leads and claims that could not be followed up on.
We must live out that compassion displayed by our most infallible—we must give a good face to Unionism in the streets and extend the Emperor's love to all, to bring them closer to the Emperor in faithful service.
The Occult, made Occult by choice or by birth, must be shown mercy and the redeeming light of Unionism—not scared away by a prominent Unionist dishonorably wielding a God-Emperor's weapon in the name of a personal campaign of terror.
It is why I challenge Erwin Braunschweiger to confront his dishonorable conduct in a duel, which I dedicate to His Holiness, Alexander I, the Mentor of Compromise, and with nod to God-Empress Ness, Lady of Forgiveness.
I seek the immediate removal of the Blessed Blade of the Glory-Seeker from Mister Braunschweiger's possession so that no further injustice may be done with it, and for Mister Braunschweiger to immediately cease his abusive pattern of behavior.
And to those Unionists who dwell in silent disagreement to Erwin Braunschweiger's conduct, or those who scare from Unionism because of his actions, be discouraged not of his sin nor think for a moment you are alone:
The Emperor, wherever He is, loves you.

((TLDR: Magic is bad but mages don't deserve to die for it. Sangria should be used honorably. We have to kill Homelander. David sizes up Goliath. The Emperor loves you. He really does. He single-handedly paved the streets in Crookback!))
