So ■■■■■■■■ aside, I wanna take a second to give some props right quick to this pilot.
Miran, I know you haven’t done anything for recognition or medals or to have my dumbass up here on a soapbox praising you.
I however feel personnely obligated to give some respect before i continue, because I think you’re the closest god damn thing to a hero the State has ever had in these trying times.
Miran Tereven here is a humble courier and shipping pilot turned war hero if you ask me, someone that put aside her own grind to pick up a weapon and fight back against the triglavian menace with extreme dedication that I have not seen from many other pilots.
Merely presenting herself does me discredit as this is someone who’s undoubtedly put in the work to pick up the slack of the Navy and eek out a few victories within the State’s borders. And not once did she act this way for this kind of praise, but because she felt like it was her duty and purpose.
So sorry if this is not what you want, but I just gotta give props where it’s due. When this all blows over, you’ll be in the history books.
Now… With that out of the way.
Abduct… Yes, i suppose that’s how it’s viewed if we look at things on a surface level. If you ask me the Guristas would still be keeping to their word of Protection, not piracy.
I don’t deem the State a safe place anymore personally. It hasn’t proved itself to be a safe place with amount of military failures the Navy has racked up during the length of this invasion. And the triglavians aren’t the only threat to the State’s citizens, but the goverment itself that will do whatever it can to keep these glaring shotcomings in the closet and try and make people move on and pretend it never happened…
You may have different views on the matter, but speaking for myself? I don’t see the point in moving people from one planet and putting them back in the hands of the same people that failed them already… More so putting them places that aren’t prepared to tend to them, to house or feed them. It be irresponsible just to dump them elsewhere in the State…
Until the State can prove itself competent again… Maybe we can talk then.
What a said fate that your people are born into being cogs into a system that clearly doesn’t benefit them anymore… To destroy their individuality as human beings and make them submit to the authority of a bunch of mega-corporations that benefit off their work and fail to return to them said benefits.
Also… I have one speicfic problem with this statement.
Sounds like victim blaming quite honestly… Because by your logic, the people on the worlds of occupied systems are responsible for their occupation because they didn’t work hard enough or wern’t loyal enough to the nation.
It’s not their leader’s fault! Oh no… Can’t be the people making all the decisions that are the problem. It’s the people themselves! It’s your own ■■■■■■■ fault your planet is occupied! Not the people above you! They’re only ‘partially’ at fault for this stream of blunders. You just didn’t work hard enough…
Go tell a colonist that…
