Could you name one of these people who are apparently 'making a name for themselves'?
And for extra credit explain what 'sleazy tricks' we're using to subvert them from being wannabe slaves?

Numbing our workers with sin and debauchery? What? Do you even listen to what we proclaim? There is a difference between something being mandatory and something being allowed. The Federation allows what some consider to be immoral, such as drugs and the like. It is not forced or even encouraged. It is up to the person to decide what is right for them, not the government. The fact you even think that the government is trying to "keep the people down" and what not is not only misguided, but absurd.

I was speaking of the government, Kesha. Surely the adverts to advertise the vices, certainly. Again, it is up to the person to decide to whether to indulge or not.

The Gallente Federation is famous for allowing such acts, yes. Whether it is "dedicated" to it is up to perception.

All of that was simply rambling. There was no meat in that statement in the slightest; it was the regurgitation of the propaganda that is fed to you.

I find it convenient that you forget that Jacus was elected into office after the war started.

The involvement of Federal Government employees as contributing representatives in the national arms industry has been deemed essential to achieving the objectives mandated by military leadership. It is in the interests of the nation at large that the best minds of the field act as one, and that private institutions shall find their favor in serving public interest. By the authority vested in me as President of the Federated Union of Gallente Prime, and in order to establish a Council of Armaments Advisors working under Federation auspices, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. The Federal Council of Armaments Advisors. (a) Membership. There is established the Federal Council of Armaments Advisors ("Council"). The Council shall comprise the following members appointed by the President: (Blanked out).]

Excuse me?What I said was that his statement:

"The real Gallente leadership are in control. when was the last time there was any real reform? The corruption and nepotism endemic to democracy are still rampant and the average citizen is still forced to toil for another's gain while being told they are free. "

has no merit. It does not, for it is just a rambling paragraph with nothing behind it. You pick and choose the wrongs of our society, which we have done, and our imperfections, which we are, and seem to believe that we personify all of that.

(You miss my point. I hold no personal grudges against any Gallentean. I do not believe that Gallenteans are inherently evil or corrupt. I admire the bravery of your people show for standing before the might of the Empire, for it must be no easy choice to make. It's just that the ideals you espouse are based in lies. I seek to save you; but if I can't save you we can at least save some of your people by razing the oligarchy you call a federation and re-educating those we can.)

"The Gallente leadership are in control"

Oh, really? They are our leaders after all.

Of course, if you mean advertisement and propaganda, then that is a leap of faith. There is simply no way you could prove that our government controls what we see and tries to influence us on such a scale. If you could, there would be outcry. Outrage.

(maybe some would cry out - but the major players already have their lobbyists working in plain sight, and the people are played like puppets between your voting blocs. )
"when was the last time there was any real reform?"

For what, exactly? Discrimination? There was this investigation, right here. Apparently they are not as widespread as they appear. However, an independent group to research this would be phenomenal, in my opinion.

"The corruption and nepotism endemic to democracy are still rampant and the average citizen is still forced to toil for another's gain while being told they are free."

How do you even come up with this? This statement is but a string of words. They have no merit, no meaning. All just ways to defame our society. Different perspectives lead to different opinions. How you came up with this one, is understandable, for far to a extreme.

And about the propaganda, I have read some of them. The "sermons". They talk about about we server "self-interest" and how we are "selfish". I am also certain that what Kesha brought up, such as the "corruption and nepotism endemic to democracy" is in there somewhere.
(So philosophical arguments hold no merit or meaning? Any ideas that run contrary to yours are just meaningless strings of words? Every year the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer while legions of lobbyists just push through more bills to serve their patron company's bottom line. how much more self serving can you get?)
