I am not entire sure if you are advocating anarchy or communism. In both cases, good luck. With the state of empyreans right now, there is little to no chance that tube rats like us can truly dethrone an Empire. There are too many of them and too little of us. You folley here comes from having too broad of a spectrum for your vision. A word we Caldari like to use is focus aggression. Pick a target and weather away at it until it can no longer stand.
Namely among these targets, the destruction of the Amarr Empire. If you would truly like to make a difference, begin there.
All other Empires at their core are of no concern to me. Yes, each of them as their own evils. Yet as a Caldari, I am concerned chiefly about the concerns of the Caldari. It is not our duty, nor interest to shepard the rest of humanity under our banner. You claim to seek an end to all empires, but I ask you: What is so wrong about the State? With the hnolku Heth out of power, the meritocratic ideals of our nation may finally rise to the status it held before the fall of the Raata Empire.
The Gallente have indeed been our longstanding enemies for obvious reason. Yet the question has been raised, even if we were to win a war against the Gallente, what purpose would it serve us in destroying their empire? All that would leave us with is a universe of kakku that the State would be left to support and waste materials attempting to fold them all into the Caldari culture, which would likely come at the cost of diluting our own cultural ties. Reparations will be paid for what they have done to our State, make no mistake about that. But as far as seeking to destroy the Gallente? That was a fight that was decided in the first Caldari-Gallente War. Rather than squabbling for the rest of eternity, we need to learn to put the past behind us and attempt to seek out better forms of reaching our goals. Short of reclamation of Caldari Prime as our homeworld and the annexation of several Intaki worlds, I feel that there isn't much that we disagree on. Our hatred is bred purely from more hatred, a cycle that we can end now.
My opinons on the Minmatar are at best sympathetic and at worst indifferent. It is unfortunate that they are horrible at picking friends, as the Gallente have only ever further destablized relations in the Republic while politically castrating it into an uneasy alliance. At the end of the day, the technical and military prowess of the Republic is similar to our own. Ironically, I find that the Caldari and the Minmatar are two faces of the same coin. One, taken by force by the Amarr, the other gradually "corrected" and trained into assimilation.
Which brings me to the Amarr.
They are without a doubt the greatest threat to our property. They seek to alter our very way of life and make us become another branch of their empire, only to be forever subjugated the will of the True Amarr. Whether the slavery will be literal or metaphorical is still yet to be seen. We Caldari made a deal with a horror we could not have known based on the hatred towards the Gallente, a mistake that will haunt us until we hault all support of the Amarr Empire. Unless we Caldari are able to prevent foreign powers from consuming our identity, we will be devoured and carved apart for "holy" nobles. We are their only friend right now. Were we to unite against them, the Golden Fleet might finally be reduced to ash and their Empire can be placed in the same chains in which she has locked countless Minmatar to a life of bondage. |

Adamance, you know nothing. You had the the audacity to mention the Dragonaurs to me, then you call me a coward. You think you have me figured out, but there is a power in me you can not know. I chose to leave that life. If you think I am motivated by fear, you are only half right. You fail to grasp what I am afraid of. I am not afraid of you, Templar, I can assure you of that.
My own actions may be subject to question, fine, but the truth of the Amarrs' sins are undeniable. A race that holds another against its will is one thing, but you Imperials have done a particularly wonderful job of exercising this evil. Toxins, viruses, collars, neural implants, and all the brutality expected of a religions inquisition have featured in your 'benevolent' history. If you truly symbolize the will of your god, than I would rather be wicked than righteous. The actions of the Amarr are unforgivable. Actions that I have seen firsthand.

We Caldari also value cultural identity. Further more, you empress was chosen out of a system of a nepotistic theocratic caste, not personal virtue. A complete idiot could... And I can only assume has at some point... Inherit the role of a priest of high value in the church if that is where their family is based in.
You argue that the Matar shall ascend to the position befitting their toil, though I suppose that won't matter. Every race in your empire will always be forced to live under the True Amarr. Ironic, considering I don't think anyone in your family has ever had to endure the hardships of slavery.
None of you seem to grasp what I mean when I talk about double standards. I suppose that is my fault. I am not advocating complacency, incomplacency, or (spirits forbid) passive-aggression. I am trying to explain that there is no point kerfuffling over the technicalities of absolutes and you must learn to just act based on what you feel must be done. Though to be honest, I find it hard to think of any downside to the removal of the Amarr Empire.
((Probably a fair call deciding to ignore personal backstories. Then again, there is more than enough PF to support anything I would have thrown out there. Templar One taught me everything I need to know to hate the Amarr as a person, but my character has no way of knowing that. Believe me, if he knew what had happened he would be far more outspoken then he already is.)) |
