While your words may be treasonous, I admire your courage, soldier. Anyone wo has the will to speak out against opression is truely one who has the power to change it.
I still find myself at a loss as to why I fight so valiantly. I long for peace. I would gladly enjoy a drink with a cclone I just killed four times. But this, this revolutionary thinking, is what spawns dissent. Is your fight against the other empires? Or is it with your slowly corrupting government? Heed my words, comrade: do not shoulder more than you must, for your back will surely break.
I see many of you are igniting blazing arguements. I have no problem with debate, but you must remember to contain your anger. Meditate if it helps. But above all, keep the war on the battlefield. |

But above all, keep the war on the battlefield. ok.... when you talk about oppression, the gallenteans do not oppress, oppression is to keep people from being themselves, being open and being individuals... gallente liberalism does not condone any acts of oppression under the federation territories.. I do agree that the federation has flaws and will not argue that it doesn't (ALL of the empires have their flaws and are wrong about how they enact their ideals), but when your talking about oppression, your wrong about the federation as a whole... if anything the amarrian empire is the biggest state of oppression since it doesn't allow anything other than its own religious views, thus blocking individuality and oppressing free will.
I have already stated that if it were up to me, I would prefer to be a peacemaker. Perhaps I'm not very pleased with how the Empire does things. Perhaps I think there are quite a few flaws which are pivotal for the Empire's reputation. But I'm just not ready to get up and start defying the Empire. They are my people. And while they may need to change, it's simply not within my faculties to attempt to change them myself. A revolution is something that takes enormous pride and courage to start, and people to fuel. I'm content with the state of the Amarr as of now. I understand certain people may think differently than I do, but hey, isn't that the reason we fight these damn wars anyway?
Disagreements can lead to drastic events. Such as war. Or in this case, a revolution. Whether or not you choose to take part in that disagreement is your own decision. And I have made mine. |

If your Gallenteans would keep their insensitive comments, ignorant or otherwise, in check we would not have these problems would we? actually, it is you amarrians that bring it up 1st, I wouldn't have lashed out if your friend hadn't claimed the federation oppresses its citizens.
Now, that was a blanket statement. I was merely remarking on the bravery of a soldier who spoke out against a people, rather than sit and mindlessly defend their empire simply because that is what they were told to do so. There is no such thing as a governing body that is completely free of corruption. If this was so, do you really think we would be at war? It is a plague for which there is no cure. An epidemic that mankind has left unchecked since we came into being. There is no way to rid ourselves of it besides the "hard way", which happens to be death and destruction on a massive scale.
Don't lie to yourself. As with any huge empire, there are selfish, power hungry individuals within the Federation who wish nothing more than to line their pockets with others' wealth and subordination. There's always going to be ulterior motives, whether you like it or not. The truth is unpleasant, I know. And while this may not apply to every single person in a position of power, that doesn't mean it is nonexistent. To deny it is to be one of ignorance. And, although it doesn't show as a whole, these people are the real opressors. Floating by on the work of others. Slavery, almost. And slavery is oppression. Sound familiar?
Sure, it's not much, but it's there. The oppression is real. Inflating your own society to make yourself look superior, or to give yourself some sort of moral high ground is blatant ignorance and an insult to the rest of the populace. When every single person within the Federation who possesses political strength puts on a dropsuit and fights for their ideals like the rest of us do, then you can come to me and say that every Gallente is a noble person, free of oppression in any form. |
