What people seem to forget is that the principles of Seanchan Empire led to the following scene:
1) Hungry girl got shot dead for picking up garbage outside the camp (Avi's first scene);
2) Hungry family with sick father got denied help (Avi's second scene);
Win the current modern world we can't imagine neither scene #1 nor scene #2. They are barbaric and inhumane for us.
You think that hasn't happened in our world? In modern times? Even today?

The Seanchan are actually more worrisome to me than the DO.

I agree. The Seanchan represent a world order based upon all the principles of evil.

Personally, I'm rooting for the Seanchan to take over Randland.
