This is a phenomenon that interests me greatly, but has yet to be convincingly explained to meGǪ
As part of my curiosity, I once used "New Eden" decepto-style motivation, and posed as a Caldari in Cal FW matches for a while. What I found was DISTRESSING. Cal FW matches are the only FWs where I see blue players shooting at each other in the safe staging area, Muchausen Medics serial-killing you in order to stick you with the nanite-pen for revive-wp, and I even saw one blue parking his own Lav next to our RDV area, so he could shoot at each vehicle his blue teammates called in. 
I couldn't understand why Cal FW teams seemed MORE full of misfits and miscreants than the other racial teams I ever joined. It's just odd.
Theories I've read, but can't decide if they make sense or not :
Caldari FW has been infiltrated by Gallente and Min sympathizer-players, and the Cald players never picked up on using that gimmick against other races and corps as mush as we are doing to theirs...
When we were all novices, reading the descriptions of which "race" we could choose for our characters, only the 'Money-over-Idealism' players chose to be CaldariGǪ and when it comes to fighting HARD for something, money-minded people can't fight nearly as well as ideal-minded peopleGǪ
Because "finances" are the core of the Caldari, its players get demoralized by ISK loss RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the battleGǪ while the Amar/Minmatar/Gallente players don't realize their wallet-damage until AFTER they've finished the fight and gone back to their living quartersGǪ
The 'star destroyer' angular design of Caldari stuff attracts more Star Wars fans than the other RacesGǪ and Star Wars fans keep imagining "Luke versus the Stormtroopers" fair fights, instead of the developing any of the dirt-in-your-face tactics that are needed to survive a Dust fightGǪ
GǪI don't know what the explanation is. But, the Caldari FW players out thereGǪ. boy, they have problems.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
No story can have life without writers and publishers.
