What would the PC way of phrasing it be?
Let's call it what it is. It is slavery, and we own slaves. I'll not mince words.
But that begs the question why we have slavery. If you'll shelve preconceived notions about the subject and examine it logically you'll find it's the most compassionate course of action we can take.
The path to God is narrow and is easily lost in the confusion of life. So those who have trouble walking the path can only benefit from having their life simplified for them so they can focus on what really matters; their salvation.
The situation is dire. Either a soul is saved or it is lost to weep, wail and gnash it's teeth. There are no second chances and any soul that is lost is a failure that lays on those chosen by god to be their Saviour. We take the drastic action of enslaving millions because it is the only way we can help so many avoid the wolves and serpents. |

Again, no matter the reason, no matter the why, slavery is slavery, and it is suffering. You could easily tell them of your religion, instead of force-feeding it to them. You could let them choose your religion, for should it not be the person himself to decide whether or not to believe in supernatural beings?
Would you not forcibly hydrate a man dying of thirst who in his delusion fights you? We're not fighting for our survival. We are fighting for yours. You may call us evil for it, but we do this out of love.

Freedom given, or assumed given, is meaningless, and a cage of complacency and entitlement that sheathes the mind. Freedom earned through toil, is valuable, freedom earned in the service of a higher cause is a key that will open your mind to greater possibilities.
The very idea of your 'freedom' being achieved through forced labour is disgusting. That runs completely against the very definition of the word.
Weighing the pro's and con's of self-determination and salvation you'll find that the only choice we have is to take such drastic measures.
In any case the definition freedom many people hold so dear is just a lie. The only real choice we have is to follow the path laid down afore us or stumble into darkness. Once a convert realizes that and they are released from bondage they can go where they want, and do as they want but they still must remember that they must keep their way or face something far worse than harvesting corn. There is no such thing as real freedom.

And yet that was the catalyst, not the mere act of leaving the Federation.
Yet you still would not let people who did not instigate the attack, nor had anything in common but race, go? We let them go just fine, until they killed our people. Do you seriously think any empire would simply stand by and do nothing when their cities were being razed? And you are hardly one to point the finger of blame for unjust orbital bombardments. I seem to recall you murdered almost an entire people simply for adapting your religion slightly to their own ways.
The slaughter of the Starkmiri people was not without contention and many regret the loss of so much life. This was not a coordinated action in which the whole empire was complicit.
And do you really not belive there was going to be another spark to set off the powder keg? It just happened to be from a caldari torch. Humans are inherently violent and war would have happened anyway without proper guidance from a higher authority. |
