Being an explicitly pro-triglavian force in Pochven is a little more than “guilt by association”. You are not just living there, you’re actively siding with them.
You cannot lay every “Republic sin” on my door. But you can a hell of a lot of them. I supported the murder or Karishal Muritor. I did not break my Oath when a usurper took the Prime Minister’s seat. I gave an “open fire” command in Colelie. I’ve supported and financed raids on Amarrian planets. I have to this day to disavow Ushra’Khan for their terrorism.
And you don’t see me weasel out of any of that, or ask anyone to trust I won’t do those things again.
