 +[[playground:allison]] is one of the extremely naïve examples of this cliché as it literally assumes that all conflict boils down to ideology/hatred.\\
 +The first book ends with a Cold War coming to an end.\\
 +Though...this is also a bit of a quirky example, since the world depicted is so obviously artificial. It's written like this on purpose, but I don't think that excuses the naïveté.

-[[playground:ao6]] is one of the more vexing examples of this trope at play. Not only does it suggest this, but it has the gall to suggest that the conflict depicted is morally neutral. I would suggest reading the review for an explanation.+[[lb:ao6]] is one of the more vexing examples of this trope at play.

-[[playground:le]] is a quirky example as the first season arguably depicts this cliché //correctly//, with proper set-up and pay-off. The war depicted is somewhat pointless, yet also over scarce resources and putting aside their differences really is the best option in their situation (otherwise they'd all die). The ending, in the end, really is mostly happy.\\+[[lb:le]] is a quirky example as the first season arguably depicts this cliché //correctly//, with proper set-up and pay-off.

 However, the second season (Gin'yoku no Fam) actually throws this out the window and goes all-in on the cliché. However, the second season (Gin'yoku no Fam) actually throws this out the window and goes all-in on the cliché.

-[[playground:yakuneve]] is another quirky example because it's correct on the one hand but also incorrect on the other. Though further explanation veers into spoiler territory so I recommend reading the manga...or just reading my review if you're lazy.+[[lb:yakuneve]] is another quirky example because it's correct on the one hand but also incorrect on the other.
