Your inability to grasp the spirit of the Caldari rests on two failures. The first is that you feel there is one united Caldari State to begin with. Our nation has endured sectionalist and secessionist based warfare through the ages, and every time the banner of the Caldari has come out on top. We aren't a race of sheep. We are no flock guided by a monarchist hand. We are individuals all capable of acting towards our own ends and goals, and dispite that the spirit of the Caldari and our deep seated values of patriotism and meritocracy hold us together under one flag. That truth, while deviding us at times, makes us all the more powerful when we find an issue to unite on. That truth is what makes us incompatable with your faith. We will never become drones to a government that insists on sheparding us by force, for as long as there are spirits at our backs and a Cold Wind in our hearts we shall always fight to preserve our power as individuals who bow to no force, be it federal, empirical, or the dictatorship of Heth.
With that in mind, your second failure is in honestly believing that Heth still controls the hearts and minds of those within the State. As each day goes by more and more disenfranchized Caldari find themselves turning towards alternate solutions in government. Even without the intervention of outside merchenary groups, the corperations are not going to allow Heth to run wild much longer. It is bad for business.

Don't mistake our pride for xenophobia Ryeon-haani. I don't deny that Caldari insist on remaining Caldari, but that spawns from a longstanding pride in who we are as a people. Legally, I a Civire. My father fought some time ago in the Waschi Uprising as a logistical officer under Mordu. My mother, as she soon became, was an Intaki refugee from that conflict. As a result, my family has seen both sides of Caldari superiority. We have been within and without.
In time however I came to understand the State and why we fight. You insist that corperate structure breeds unity, but you forget that capitalism is spawned off the right of individual liberties and expansion of power through your own means. When I stopped identifying with my Intaki heritage I was able to finally exercise my citizenship within the State. The truth is, to be Caldri is as simple as accepting yourself as Caldari and to fully embracethe culture and heiian towards your fellow citizens.
Which comes the question, are we Caldari united or devided? It is a mobius strip. Just as my family, we are within and without. I don't expect an outsider to grasp the concept honestly. I suppose we Caldari are a strange race.

With respect friend, I hope you realize that my legal standing was no accident. I am fully aware that any other race, any other place, and any other time it would not have been so easy to worm my way through the system. Mordu's Legion has always supported me and my family, even after they passed. Unfortunatly, recent events has caused a bit of a falling out between us. I had to take up work in Seituoda Taskforce Command after that. I've shed enough blood for the State, I am as Civire as any pureblood.
In truth, I keep to my Caldari ties because I need a reason to fight. I know what it feels like to be cast out for your background, it just doesn't always do me well to make a point of showing it. So understand, I might seem harsh but in reality I wish you and your people nothing but the best as long as Caldari identity remains stronge in the State. |

Ryeon-haani... How does the term go?... Hit the nail on the head. I will not stand idle by as a foreign power insists on denouncing my way of life and conspiring to invoke its will on the State that I have already fought to hard to include myself in.
((Oh boy here we go))
I've spelt blood a thousand times on a thousand planets for a thousand days to prove my lineage, don't you dare attempt to take that from me. All my life I have fought tooth and nail to achieve my place in the State. Sir, even while mortal I supported the patriots to an end you could not imagine all to prove that the same blood flows through you as I.
The sin of my birth was cleansed by fire in the Seituoda, and when my debt was finally paid, when no one in my unit dared to use the term "half-breed" in anything more than a hushed tone, I could leave that horrible life and begin to reclaim my honour as a true citizen of the State.
Yet, do not just assume that I will allow you to spit on every spirit that came before me. Civire and Intaki both support me and grant me my strength when I am weak. Make no mistake, I did not run through hell to hide my past. I did it to prove that I am just as capable as you. |
