Duly noted. I was not aware and thank you for the warning.
Well, thank you. That’s much more like an argument and one I’m in no position to deny, frankly.
I ask because I spend a fair amount of time working productively alongside State aligned interest groups. It’s not always easy but it’s possible and worthwhile. Recent news reports of events in the State have me concerned for a number of associates there. It’s disappointing to see the idea of help being dismissed on reflex.
This idea is rightfully dismissed on reflex. Both due to who is offering it and because of how it is presented.
This is an entirely predatory movement meant to promote the narrative that the State is some kind of inhumane, tyrannical regime that holds people captive and abuses them, not an offer to help. What exactly has she offered in terms of help? All I see is libel and hypocrisy, nothing else.
She is simply trying to further destabilize the State and cause unrest, her ideas are not to be entertained.
We aren’t going to deny that we have a little problem here, and for sure we would like all the help we can get. If you see a gurista - pop it before it hides again, you’ll do a favor not only for the State, but for the whole cluster.
On the other hand, considering to follow rather obvious gurista trolling or destabilizing attempt as “helping” certainly won’t help anyone.
Alright, now you both seem to be below boiling point, what could a Federal citizen do to help without getting their head bitten off?
Challenge yourselves!
Regarding what problem?
I think I said it already.
Want to help? Fight a gurista.
Oh well.
Arrendis was right, again…
Depends on the mouth that bites.
Calling your representatives and asking about the POW treatment, checking if it complies with your legislation, changing the legislation to something you agree with, going yourself to the sites and doing something about it, protesting, buying air time to talk about it, lobby… so many things.
Even Her Most Sublime and Imperial Majesty Catiz I replied to IGS petitions, your representative may also do it.
I was talking about the turbulence the State is clearly suffering from, not the many failures of the Federation. That’s still the topic here, right?
Welcome those who wish to leave with open arms.
Treat well those you capture.
Probably stop coming here and ask them to leave.
Don’t take our people by force
Bonus: Gib Caldari Prime back ?
They are not your issues to help with, especially given how many of your compatriots would use this assistance as a vehicle to damage the State.
You can only work on the issues you cause, as the Federation. Your government boasts that it listens to the feedback of its citizens. Do something about how they treat us.
Though I suppose stopping entertaining the ideas of dishonest and malicious actors like the OP would also be beneficial.
Well, surrendering Caldari Prime would certainly be a challenge, although not the sort I had in mind. What I meant was trying to look past these ingrained suspicions and the crutch of blaming the Federation rather than really looking in the mirror.
Perhaps that’s too much to ask for but it’s worth entertaining good ideas, even if you don’t like who has them.
Do bring your ship to one of those deadspace sites, there are Gallente doing those things.
Well, your people doing some stuff. Omission is also an action.
“Oh, I didn’t mean what we can do to change how we abuse you, I meant how can we help you see that you are in the wrong!”
Typical.
Gaslighting was the concept the Gallente are using, was it not?
I don’t know who you think we all are but influencing national military policy is more than a little above my pay grade, at least.
Seems to be the offending statement, and referring to readily verifiable fact as suspicion ingrains actual suspicion.
I meant suspicions of anything ever said or done by anyone who happens to have Federal citizenship.
I’m not sure why this needs to be spelled out but I’m not actually involved in FIO operations. For that matter, I don’t see what they have to do with events at Solva and elsewhere other than as a smokescreen.
This entire self-aggrandizing charade has been steeped in the presumption that the Gallente are more moral than the Caldari, where not explicitly stated ‘if only I had the words, and you had the wits; you’d see our ways are the right ways’ has been as good as written in the margins.
Where that moral superiority has been questioned, you attempt to make fact into suspicion, attempt to make irrelevance of verifiable Gallente crimes even as you indulge subversive propaganda based on alleged Caldari ones.
How to help the State, is for the Megas or the CEP to answer, but engagement in good faith might mitigate people biting your head off.
I engaged in good faith and asked the question, what could be done. I have not said anything to establish superiority, moral or otherwise. I simply asked the question.
Why? Because when Intaki was invaded (both times in recent years) I personally encountered a number of Caldari pilots who travelled there wanting to help. One of them was even a concerned Lai Dai citizen. I don’t remember blaming them for the actions of LDPS.
