I recognise that you yourself are relatively powerless to enact change in such a matter, but as long as everyone continues to state “oh, it’s someone else’s concern” I’m fairly certain the status quo will be maintained. Perhaps condemning the actions rather than just saying “Well, you’re all criminals but hey we said we’d play nice, that matters, right?” would be more helpful.

If saying that the violation of our treaties is a sin is not already a condemnation, then allow me to be explicitly clear:
The greatest sin is deception. Speaking falsely. Any person, holder, general, or otherwise, that swears an oath, contract, or treaty, and then betrays that oath, contract, or treaty, is a servant of the Deceiver and a criminal before God, and they should be punished in a manner befitting the severity of their treason.
Happy?

Careful now, Dread Kin. You just called for every government official, military leader and most of the populations of every nation in New Eden to be ‘punished in a manner befitting the severity of their treason’.
Of course, it’s not like I disagree with you, but I have a sneaking suspicion your peers and superiors probably would, behind the glassy smiles and nods.

You’re a Goon so you definitely have that backwards. Null-Sec pilots in general are terrible people it’s just that Goons are worse terrible people. We are still better than slavers though.

Pssst, Miz! Sami’s been in a kind of ‘Like I give a fedo fart what ‘authority’ thinks about me’ mood for a while now…
Personally, I think it looks good on her.

You actually think EVERY single state servant has betrayed their contract / oath of service?
C’mon, Miz. That’s tinfoil-hattery.

Or you know… hyperbole befitting the subject. Of course there are honest people in every government and other systems out there.
They’re just few and far between, to the point of finding one becoming a miracle, because you can be damn sure that almost all the ones that would qualify knows exactly how much pure and unadulterated bullcrap their less honest peers are spreading, and they don’t speak up about it.
I swear, the only times anyone actually takes anything I write exactly how I write it is when I indulge in hyperbole.

You should try exposure as a punishment for corrupt civil servants, frostbite focuses the mind on one’s duties wonderfully.

At the start of the sentence, I thought that was going an entirely different place.

He didn’t say where the frostbite was.

This is true. One then wonders if Pieter has been focused in said fashion.

Every time I suggest ‘exposure’ as the solution to anything, people start throwing ‘indecent’ in front of it for reasons beyond my understanding.

That’s your problem right there. You need DECENT exposure. Like, not too much exposure and not too little. Like, not a Gallentean bikini but also not an Amarrian one.

For example, palm exposure. Take the gloves off!
