The saddest part, the very very saddest part, is that he would've saved those 800 million + lives, just of the Cardassians, and all the Breen and Klingon, Federation planet and Jem Hadar lives, and Romulan lives, if Worf were 30 seconds slower than him in the defiant's control panel. Had his sabotage succeeded, the founders thankfully would've been wiped out except for 90 or so of their superman children.

Imagine though. 800 Million souls, wiped out in less than 24 hours. A crime 100 times the scale of the holocaust in a single sunrise. Cardassia would not recover for decades. Maybe even centuries. No infrastrcture. No government to speak of. The Obsidian Order gone, the Central command almost wiped out. And despised by Klingons, Federation and Romulans for their betrayal of the entire Alpha Quadrant. They have no allies, no friends, Cardassia would be a parish state for years to come; and they'll be entirely dependant on federation and Bajoran aid. The Romulans? Soon to be wiped out by their own sun and collapse into a fragmented lack of successor states. Klingons? In complete sociological decline following centuries of corruption and the disastrous Klingon-Cardassian War. The Federation? Lost most of its fleet, horrifically unprepared for a Borg attack, and faces a crisis as member states begin to seceed, with the federation turning inwards, betraying its ideals. A Post-Dominion War Galaxy is a frightening place. With no reason to be merciful to Cardassia.

@@deathbykonami5487 actually every changeling would have to die cause she was the face of all the Changelings beliefs. The Dominion itself is nothing but an empire built by the Changelings to teach the solids that they are superior to them and they had no other reason, of course telling them its wrong will make them say back at you that the solids mistreated them the same way and thus the Changelings decided it was for the best they conquered everything and brought order according to their beliefs, the Female Changeling was an emissary of sorts sent by the changelings connected to the Link which is the hivemind of Changeling. Odo used her to deliver not only the cure to the virus that was destroying the changelings but also the ultimatum of annihilation if the changelings refused to stop their empire building, she also became the very evidence that solids had defeated them and now the changelings should stop and change their beliefs which they did of course. (according to the novels, apparently they made Odo their new Emissary/Master and afterwards discovered they themselves were made by another master/god like being that had disappeared long ago so they decided to look for him, of course they found him and to all the changelings surprise, he was destroyed by a Nova so in utter despair the link decided to break and all changelings scattered across the galaxy, Odo tried bringing them back together even as individual changelings but he could only find few and that's what has happened as of yet)

I know Ezri must seem a little callous when she so unsympathetically tells Garak she’s glad to hear he’s on the job. But consider- when has Garak *ever* wanted sympathy from his human counterparts? It was all of two years and a prolonged near-death experience before he asked Doctor Bashir for forgiveness. And even then the truth was constantly veiled. No, for Garak, a cold segue back to his work was better for him than to tread deeper into the open wound that was the death of Cardassia. And consider for a moment this: what would talking about Cardassia do for him? There was, realistically, no hope for Cardassia. Any hope offered would’ve been a weak, placating thought at best, a cruel lie at worst, both of which would be even more damaging to his psyche later when Cardassia was leveled to dust. Sympathy is good friends, but true compassion is not always sympathetic. Be wise in your cold moments, but even wiser in your kindness.

There is also the fact that Ezri Dax is trying to fill Jadzia Dax's shoes, and Garak calls her out on it. He rightfully has contempt for Ezria trying to be what her predecessor was. Ezria has no personality and just wants people to like her because they liked Jadzia. So she tries to be Jadzia even though she doesn't have the experience either in life or with the inhabitants of Deep Space 9 to pull it off and most everyone is just humoring her. Even her breaking down in tears after Garak calls her out, it is hard to truly sympathize with her, and not because it is an obviously younger actor playing an obviously younger person stepping into a more experience person's shoes. It's because she thinks that by being 'Dax she will become what the person was. I prefer to think the "Thanks to you" was Garak insulting her and Ezria just being too naive to realize it. Because it was thanks to her determined need to be Jadzia in spite of her incapability to be her that pushed Garak to a point where if he commits suicide after the end of the Dominion War is a legitimate question.

What is the difference between Garak and Dukat? Garak started off as a psychopathic killer screwing over his own people and through exile, and real consequences, Garak became a true Cardassian patriot who would kill anybody if it meant protecting Cardassia. Dukat started as a true Cardassian patriot who would kill anybody if it meant protecting Cardassia and due to Bajor's liberation, and Dukat's delusion over his legacy, Dukat became a psychopathic killer screwing over his own people.

Being in the Obsidian Order- Garak and Tain would fabricate charges against people on a whim. The closest equivalent would be high-ranking Nazi and Soviet intelligence chiefs rounding up people, purging "enemies of the state" and taking down anybody who didn't look "right" in their eyes. DS9 had an insane amount of parallels to WW2, Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, The British Empire... Take some of the worst evils and atrocities shown on DS9 and there will be something similar in our history (19th/20th/21st). Dominion War -- WW2 Occupation of Bajor -- British Empire colonialism/imperialism, Nazi/Soviet occupation of countries, Vietnam war (France and USA), etc. Cardassia -- Amalgamation of the worst of Maoist China, Soviet Union and Nazi Germany Klingons and their corrupt warrior culture -- Japanese Empire Destruction of Cardassia during the end of the Dominion war -- Destruction of Warsaw and the Nazi's accelerated extermination of PoWs, Slavs and Jews during the end of WW2. Bajoran resistance groups -- WW2 resistance groups against Nazis, Viet Cong, etc. Kira's description in Duet of Cardassian brutality -- The Rape of Nanking by the Japanese during WW2.

in a way it's deeper than most realize, Garak got exiled as a traitor yet he never believed himself to be a traitor, he knew that deep inside he was still a cardassian patriot but in doing this he became what he was accused of, and that had to have been gnawing at him too at some level
