> [@Kril\_Efrit](#): > > Irresponsibility by capsuleer renegades clothing themselves in the rhetoric of tribal concern seems to be a bottomless well of troubles for our people. And the irresponsibility of our government, plunging us into an endless war of attrition on the warzone & performing a violent powergrab that’s now lead to the threat of civil war, while indeed _clothing themselves in the rhetoric of tribal concern_, endangers the _very existence_ of this nation, and of the free tribes. I was an appeaser once, Kril Efrit. My oath of loyalty is to the Republic, not to my tribe. Until the militia wars, I spoke for peace and for not provoking the enemy and treading lightly so as not to call down The War. I did believe we should make nice, and build, and get strong. But that was when I believed it was the path _to victory_. _Realpolitik_ is indeed a thing. Trust me, I know. But it is a tool, not a goal. We had a chance to use it once, but since then, we have entered a war of attrition against a vastly bigger enemy, and if we keep on this path, we _will lose_. Give me hope otherwise, and I will act accordingly. But I am desperate enough that threats will buy you nothing. Our people is in danger anyway. Better they face it than huddle in the dark, soothed by children’s tales about tribal greatness. _Never again another Long Night._ I remain, Elsebeth Shaninn, of Rhiannon, born Rhiannon Terror Harlot, pedding guns & rebellion across Holy Amarr Capsuleer Renegade, clothed in tribal concern --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/in-the-light-of-recent-news/192732)._
