I didn't mean your faith, [she clarifies, if only because it feels important. Clarke has learned a lot about disrespecting faith throughout the years. It's a lesson she has to remember time and time again because she doesn't connect with it personally, but she knows what it means to others.] I meant how Mount Weather used you. Tricked you into not taking up arms. They observed you to know how to make you respond accordingly. That is a much closer parallel, because the people of this world don't have much to hope for. They survive, believing that it may be enough.
[And for people from their world, it might be. It could be.
But Clarke knows that these people should be doing more than surviving. Many work jobs and live lives that are perfectly fine. But they don't know how to fight. Or believe they can have more.]
