Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Swampies’ invocation of Kroll as a protective deity (beat 7a5b22fc9ad8b855) parallels Ranquin’s earlier sanctification of the weapons with Kroll’s mark (beat 7d71130c5a938d13)—both use religion not as spirituality but as political and military justification for violence."
