Your response here has generated a spirited and moving discussion of the nature of slavery and abolition, and I applaud that. I don’t applaud your thin-skinned vanity that took offense at my calling you out on your error in addressing Ms. Jenneth as such, and, so offended, decided to justify yourself by applying my singular comment more broadly than it was intended.

Yup. That’s totally it. I’m not an arrogant, pedantic jerk, I just give a fetid fedo fart what some idiot who’s been in space a whole week thinks.

And the gentleman preceding you is an Amarr noble. He has titles and territory. Good luck convincing him that his goals (of which, abolition is only one, and not the most important) would be better served by leaving Amarr space and actively taking part in acts of aggression against his own House.

As a side note, I imagine that it is possible to live in Amarr without supporting slavery. Highly difficult, but possible, not ‘impossible’ as you have said. Maybe someone could consume products only created absent slavery, and avoid paying takes and dues into institutions that do support slavery, and so forth.

Yes, they could avoid paying taxes… to the Amarr Empire. Or stop living in a society where power, communications, basic utilities, and social order itself are provided by organizations built on the foundation of slavery. Someone other than the Imperial Navy could patrol the system they live in. Someone other than a Noble House sworn to uphold the policies of the Golden Throne—including slavery—could own the system they live in.

Truly, your brilliance and grasp of cluster-wide affairs known no bounds.
