You know, when you’re going to try to be snide and belittling about illiteracy, it helps to not get the salient facts _exactly_ wrong. Let’s take a look at context! > [@Jesoph\_Swolin](#): > > For them, enslaving people for generations is a mechanism for erasing the culture of their captives, and indoctrinating them into their own. They are entitled to believe that is a good thing. We are entitled to believe that is a bad thing. That disagreement can only be resolved in a language they understand. It is not a language that is spoken or written. In this context, it’s obvious that ‘they’ are the Amarr while ‘we’ refers to the Matari people. Thus, Jesoph’s implication is that the _Amarr_ understand only violence. In addition, you’ve already, in this very thread, referenced _reading_ official histories in The Republic, which means you’d have needed the Minmatar to appreciate the written word in order for there to _be_ official histories to read. Now, you’ve _also_ admitted to lying and fabricating your account entirely, so there’s _some_ wiggle-room on whether we should take your statements as reliable that there are, in fact, words written by the Minmatar out there someplace. But then, you’ve _also_ been pretty consistently schooled in [another thread](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/trillions-of-federation-minmatar-would-be-alienated-or-perhaps-even-abandoned-by-republic-elusenian-government-in-exile-requests-clarification-regarding-the-republic-governments-position-towards-diaspora-in-event-of-possible-alliance-suspension/397681/24) about pretty much everything from supercarrier operations to whether or not Shakor needs to _hide_ his threats of politically-motivated mass murder of Minmatar… via written word… from a Minmatar. So maybe trying to get clever and snide about _our_ mastery of the written word isn’t a can of worms _you_ want to go opening, hmm? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/how-to-talk-to-your-child-about-the-minmatar-rebellion/397798)._
