In relation to that, it then becomes easy to advocate something "greater".
You're right. Any perspective that introduces another option besides STS, STO or the sinkhole of indifference is being deliberately or unintentionally ignoring what these paths entail. I believe that any behavior where the self is put in relation to an other-self falls in one place or another in the continuum between STS (control) or STO (acceptance); absolutely any and all kinds of behavior (or thought). Even something as simple as just spending time with a friend and having fun can be put in that continuum. Obviously, if one is enjoying their time with somebody, an acceptance of the situation is implied. It's not that this is going to make anyone harvestable, but the place in the STO-STS continuum is clear.
The middle point can be either indifference or resignation (perhaps both, interchangeably, depending on the situation).
The only other option is the sinkhole of indifference, which is, rather, a non-option. But the individual and isolated actions of these people are still clearly leaning one side or the other. One time they accept a person, a situation or a feeling. Next time, they get angry, they judge themselves or others, or they try to control a situation against somebody else's free will. They love when it's easy to love, and they attempt to exercise control when they can and if it suits them.
I think to a lesser degree this applies even in the 4th density battles that you referred to. These early 4d entities love the individuals of their SMC and other STO SMCs, they love 3d entities, but they haven't yet found it within themselves to love the darkness. As such, their STO polarity still has a way to go before it becomes pure.

There's no need to introduce "unity" as a striving separate from the two paths. The STO path offers the straightest way there, and at the core is not about fighting.
I agree completely.
