Right. You ran away in an orderly manner. You still ran away. And the Feds still held Caldari Prime, uncontested, with your people doing nothing about anything they did there, for centuries.
Elements of it. Others, you left behind. As you, yourself have said:
When you left, you weren’t an interstellar power. Which means you developed a way of life—a culture—that differs from what came before. That means you left the old ways behind to develop the new ones. You can’t have it both ways: either your way of life right now is totally the same as it was before your people became an interstellar power, or you left that way of life behind.
No, it’s just what you’ve been raised to cling to so tightly that you can’t even acknowledge that you are saying something that demonstrates that it simply isn’t true.
Here, this is simple:
- The Caldari people had a specific way of life before the megacorporate exodus.
- The megacorporate Caldari have a different way of life now, because the way of life of an interstellar power differs somewhat from the way of life of a valley-bound settlement near the Kaalakiota peaks. Circumstances change, and it certainly has an effect on the people that go through them.
If (2) is true, then the megacorporate Caldari cannot have been unwilling to leave their way of life behind, simply because they did leave it behind.
Ah, so the Achurans, despite being Caldari citizens, are not real Caldari, and for an Achuran to act like a Caldari, or claim to be Caldari, would be undesirable? So, do you feel Diana Kim is some kind of traitor to her native Achuran culture?
