Actually. In some respects... It's both. All three games in some respects are a social schism in part by the position of a group that percieves themselves as superior to all life. Synthetic and Organic... For being both. It's the entire basis and standing for what they consider as something far to advanced for percieved "lessers" to understand. That being of a given current biological condition. When you erase that difference their argument also loses it's weight and their reason to fight. it takes away all of their percieved advantages for simply being exactly what they are.
It doesn't change my point that it's like getting rid of racisim by making everyone white, or black, or dogs for that matter. It doesn't matter what you're making them, but you're making them all the same without any impute from them.
your argument has some flaws that I'm sure several rights activists would love to argue. I'm not going to be baited into that. Needless to say there are gonna be those on either side that are going to resist equality in whatever form it takes. Most particularly amongst those that percieve themselves superior... It's not actually a matter of turning everybody white or black but actually turning everybody Grey. They are still shades of grey but they are still grey.
You know what it's like?
Here in Canada the government hatched a little plan to deal with the natives here. Their plan was to take the native children and place them in boarding schools run by the church. The idea was to take them and raise them like good little christians so they'd be able to integrate speamlessly into mainstream society. It failed, likely largly due to the church going straight to extremes to... indoctronate the children. But their objective was to make everyone the same reguardless of their opinion.
Today the social climate promotes seeing people as the same reguardless of their race or creed, to judge people based on their individual merrits. Treating people as equals and striving to make them all the same are two completely different things and if you don't see the difference between these then you are a bosh'tet.
Your representation of putting them in churches and going to extremes to indoctrinate them is actually a good form of the Reapers... Even after Synthesis they are not all exactly the same unlike the Reapers... This is where resorting to name calling me and telling me I don't see differences unfortunately falls apart. Synthesis can be seen as simply giving the galaxy a much more in your face and visually noticable proof of the simularities between all life in the galaxy. Organic, Synthetic, and Otherwise. Jeff after the change is still Jeff for example. yet visually he becomes much more obviously simular to say synthetic life as the more paragon course of the issues of the Geth and the issues between the Geth and The Quarian illustrate.
Your taking a change in how they look and their bioligical makeup and turning it into some extreme blanket huskification which from what little the ending shows us actually isn't the case. It also preserves the greatest ammount of life which does seem to be a very paragon goal in the course of the games.
Again referencing the Geth/Quarian conflict. Where it's possible to put two rather opposed cultures to a potentially peaceful terms and actually find a balance of synthetic and Organic in that conflict and that they aren't necessarily so very different and taking it a step further and applying it to the Reapers as well. Just in a much more dramatic fashion. Again it is a conclusion that while you can reach it that if you really asked both sides there would likely be some on both sides that would want anything but anything less than destruction of one race or the other. the VI replacement for Legion actually is a very good example that some only see the need to destroy the other side where Legion himself is a good example that some would prefer peace and to understand clearly the simularities between each other.
Another good example of what actually seeing the simularities of each other. Even with groups that aren't really willing to see such simularities is the Krogan/Turian conflict. In that if you play it through with Wrex and it continues on you actually come to see Wrex and the Primarch come to greatly respect each other for the simularities they see in each other. That of being soldiers shoved into Leadership positions and finding their leadership style in what their own race would consider anything but Traditional. But again both sides have quite a few members that until forced to are loathed to see each other in anything but very spiteful ways. The Turians seeing themselves as superior and the Krogans fighting back to prove their equality... rather violently and self destructively in some instances. The Salarian Dalatrass actually adds to this as well in her reactions to things like Her vehement dislike of anything that has to do with curing the genophage or giving the Krogans anything that doesn't just get them to fall into line where others of the Salarian race are quite of an opposing opinion and several actually seem to change their opinions and praise the Krogan when they see them a bit differently through the war efforts progressing.
