No. You were not. You have never stopped your aggressions against us. You have never stopped the slave raids. You have never stopped the systematic social, cultural, and even physical rape and abuse of our people. Even your insulting, ridiculous claim of being able to own them, that they are yours is an act of violence and war against us.
And you see this as just fine because, as I said: you are a victim yourself. And you know it. But you don’t dare face it. You hide from it. You cower from it, refusing to even contemplate what was done to you, your parents, your cousins, your grandparents.
All because they made you feel special by patting you on the head and saying ‘good doggy’. They gave you a shiny diamond collar for wagging your tail and coming when they called. Look at you, clinging desperately to your honors and your titles, as if the treats thrown into your cage by the Amarr mean a damned thing. Go on: actually effect meaningful change. Your claims of authority and standing are as hollow as Kim’s.
FFS, use a turkey baster.
Just an edit to add this:
If that were true, Mitty, they wouldn’t need to be enslaved to spread it. The very reliance on slavery shows the Amarr culture to be weak, promulgated by scared, timid little rats who do not truly have enough faith in the rightness and righteousness of their world view to let it stand on its own without force, without abuse, without intentionally inflicting trauma.
And you know it. That’s what the cleansing pits are, after all, remember? Using pain and deprivation to traumatize the ‘sinner’, to effect behavioral change by using the trauma pathways of the mind to ingrain painful and unwelcome associations to behavior that’s perfectly within the bounds of their own society and culture. And if it kills them, well… guess they paid for their sins.
Torture. Brainwashing. These aren’t the hallmarks of a strong culture, of people who feel sure of their cultural supremacy. These are the tools of the weak, of vicious, spiteful children lashing out because they’re scared that they’ve been caught doing something bad and might get yelled at.
