Hosting discussions about ‘what options do the Minmatar capsuleers have in response to Sarum’s declared assault on civilians?’ is not _at all_ the same as ‘how do the Amarr capsuleers interact with a man who has openly engaged in mass murder for years and _personally_ racked up an individual body count in the millions, purchasing slaves who cannot even run away and then sacrificing them in an insane attempt to get his god to kill entire star systems of non-combatants’.

Are you capable of understand the difference between the two, or do I need to hide half of it in little white boxes for you?

As for this nonsense… honestly, this sort of stupidity is why the idiotic idea that capsuleers are immortal should be utterly stomped out. You’re not immortal. You’re disposable, and when you die, you’ll be replaced by another you, like someone replaces the batteries in a child’s toy.

I’d say the appropriate equivalence for Harkon is someone more like Mitara: Neither of them makes any bones about what they are, neither attempts to justify it with paens to morality or propriety. And neither of them ever has. There are no political schemes, no caring about currying favor or trying to position themselves in position to gain influence with some faction or another. They serve a cause, without hesitation or remorse, and will pay whatever the cost that service incurs.

Napkins, on the other hand, is nothing _but_ justifications and claims of morality. It’s not about _his_ cause, he says, it’s about _god’s_ cause, that **he alone** has the wit and wisdom to know what god’s cause is. And any price to be paid? Well, that’ll get paid by _victims_. Not by him. And he shouldn’t ever be held responsible.

So… no, there’s not an equivalence.
