This is the best evidence compiled showing that the Gallente & Minmitar are not all good. Included in this you will begin to see why The Amarr & Caldari are NOT all bad. This is just to prove NONE of The 5 Empires are purely good. However this post is just specifically showing of Gallente & Minmitar.

I could give numerous examples showing the evils of the Gallente and Minmatar as well. Between the two, I'd say the former is much worse.
As far as the Amarr go, I admit to there being certain individuals with foul intentions, but that is only natural from an empire of this size. When you look at the body, the Amarr are the saviors of New Eden and the only ones offering a proposition that can lead to true peace and unity.

That is what I admire about the Caldari....(( The Amarr no so much but I associate them with Space Marines so....well.....2m armoured giants, screaming litanies of hate and faith at their enemies...))

No of course we aren't all good. I just got back from eliminating a rogue agent while he was sleeping in the same bed with his wife. Boom. Struck right in the danger zone.
But if we are messed up then the Caldari and Amarr are just despicable.

Yes, I've found myself admiring caldari after their brains where splattered on my face, good fighters, annoying. Amarr, well, I'd rather not take another forge gun to the face, I think this is the biggest perk of being a neutral merc. I can kill anyone, but I 'm not to blame.. People do sometimes, though. I find that amusing. (So true xD)

Is that an act of evil as your people perceive it? Sound like it was duty and necessity to me.

We should have brought him to a court of justice to be tried. But nope, we just killed him. I don't even think he was rogue, we never did get any hard evidence. Oh well.

True not all of the Amarr are good but then humans are imperfect & possibly it is impossible for a enitre government to be 110% good without 1 bad citizen |

I'm living proof that the gallente aren't all good. no one is.
The amarr are vicious slavers with the most pervasive of problems: Faith that they cannot be wrong and never will be wrong. The gallente are run by a president and his(very well trained) thugs who'll silence anyone who speaks out. The caldari will cast you out to die if it leads to better profit margins. and the minmatar are stagnating with political infighting among the tribes preventing anything meaningful from getting done.
If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

Heathen Bastard wrote:The caldari will cast you out to die if it leads to better profit margins. While that's technically true, let's please remember that the ideal Caldari corporation and the ideal Gallente corporation are quite different things.
The Gallentean corporation is a purely profit-seeking entity, a private device for making money. The ideal Gallente corporation produces nothing, employs no one, and rakes in the ISK.
A Caldari corporation is the farthest thing from private, even as it follows the same structural model. The ideal Caldari corporation employs, protects, governs, and provides goods and services for a nation (or a substantial subset of one) in addition to raking in the ISK.
The corporations have forgotten this at least once. The lower castes reminded them. |

A Gallentean corporation, even in principle, works to benefit its shareholders at the cost of all others-- customers, employees, the entire world. It is a wealth concentration device.
A Caldari megacorporation is a societal governing structure. It aspires to no such limited end; its utility is in its value to the Caldari people. Profits are awfully nice, but the basic purpose differs: it is a governing as well as a corporate entity, and must fulfill a government's duties.
A Gallentean corporation exists, in principle, for its shareholders.
A Caldari corporation exists, in principle, for the Caldari. |

Regardless, yes, everybody's got their faults. Not only does every system have its downsides, you also invariably have that point where theory meets practice. "The way things are supposed to work" is a model, but one that isn't quite a reality no matter where you go. |

Watch out for slander from the Amarr and Caldari, they change the story to support their concepts. The so called facts were made by the "witnesses". Just remember to make the right choice. |

So the Minmatar and Gallente aren't perfect, they're humans with flaws. Better to be a human with flaws than a zealot monster that enslave billions; not even because of necessity (drones can do the jobs), but because some stupid unsubstantiated fairy-tale said so.

And on what basis do you proclaim them "monsters"? Or being an enslaving zealot distinct from being a "human with flaws"?
Slavery is practiced by several cultures, not just the Amarr, and requires no belief in a higher power to make it acceptable. All it requires is a cultural decision that ownership rights can extend to other humans. Some cultures embrace this idea; others discard it. The universe does not seem to pass judgment either way.
Your ethics, Mr. Horned Wolf, are just as much a product of cultural programming, unsubstantiated by any relationship to an objective value (there seems to exist no such creature), as theirs are.
Or, to be more blunt, can you show me an inalienable human right? I'd like to mount one on my wall. |

Any criminal can create a culture with his fellow a-holes, and say "but its just my cultural practice to murder and ****", but that doesn't make it any less wrong. It is true that religion is not needed to practice slavery, but it sure helps if your holy book is encouraging you to do it. My distaste for the practice is not born from "cultural programming", but basic empathy; something the Amarr have allowed to be overwritten by their virulent faith.

My distaste for the practice is not born from "cultural programming", but basic empathy; something the Amarr have allowed to be overwritten by their virulent faith. The term for my outlook is flat-out "moral relativism." A slaver dog is not evil simply because it eats people given the chance; that is the proper way to live as a slaver dog. You may consider me unjust if you wish; I am indeed unjust, whether by your standards or those of my people, but that has very little to do with this belief. It is a quality common to my sect, and much of my faith. We try to do as is proper for us; we do not presume to dictate to others what is right for them.
That does not prevent me from killing you for threatening what I love, only from claiming you are "evil" as a justification for doing it. I can look you in the eye, and admit your humanity-- admit, even, that regardless of our differences, under other circumstances we might have been friends-- then activate the virus that will corrupt your transfer* and shoot you through the eye.
It takes courage to kill someone you recognize as a fellow human being. It is easy to kill monsters. The trick of telling ourselves our enemies are less than human is called dehumanization. It's a technique used across New Eden to get soldiers to overcome their natural empathy, and also by xenophobes to persuade people to murder shopkeepers and janitors. The fascinating thing is that it works equally well in dictatorships and democracies.
By believing that they slay monsters, those who lack the courage to kill a man gain the strength to pull the trigger.
Insisting that your enemies are evil is the refuge of a moral coward. It's a common quality of those who cannot face the idea that those they kill are simply ... people.
As for the linked topic of biological empathy, Mr. Horned Wolf, in humans it generally applies to a circle of about 140 people-- a small village. That is the sort of creatures we originally are, and is one of the reasons why you find it so easy to condemn those of other cultures: your biology allows, perhaps even encourages you, to condemn and murder those who are different from you.
Civilization is largely about working around that limit by various means. The Amarr have done so successfully on an interplanetary scale for many thousands of years to a degree the Federation can only dream about. I would consider them enemies if they tried to conquer my homeworld, but that does not mean I cannot admire the accomplishment.

Technically that is not true, the Gallente political systems are essentially controlled by massive voting blocs, if your ideals don't match up with those of the biggest then your votes mean nothing.

The degree of arguing a point here is at a great level of understanding to which i'm glad to see.
In RL I disapprove of slavery as I find it unneccesary in our world but when I came to New Eden I do as I always do when lookign at a new world. I came with the freshest perspective I could & looked at all 4 cultures.
The Gallente & Amarr are my 2 favorite but I came to settle with The Amarr & they're culture for varying reasons. Which I have discussed & gone over. As you can see somewhat why from my first post to open this thread.
True, humans do lie to themselves.
If your threatening another culture & what they cherish/find dear then they will defend it.
Recognising we are all human & then able to clearly fight them seeing them as they could've been your friend once is seeing The Truth.
But we lie to ourselves & make it where we see others as "Monsters" or as "The Lord As The Flies" might say "The Beastie" in us all. That way it becomes easier to kill another & not dwell on it or to gain the courage to do so.
Infact a anime called "Monster" somewhat covers this. |
