"Wish to know what the State is? Violence. It is what it knows best. It is their greatest tool. It is the largest monopoly it has influence over and the very syllables in the words of the Caldari language are that of gunshots.
It is an entity that has this conception that it has some divine right to rule over people, to control then and demand their obedience and servitude. The only reason anyone follows along with the State’s laws and orders however is because they have the guns to enforce it. These police outfits are the very thugs they brand the Guristas as - Merely sanctioned and funded by their respective institute of authority to enforce their will. The State does not enforce laws for some greater good, they’re enforced to establish their power over others - to break their back and force them into complicity. Suffocating them into pleading for mercy just for a gasp of air.
What happen in Anin is but the truth of the matter, people emerge with outrage and the response is violence. Violence is the tool to punish those that dare step out of line - a sick way to remind the masses to remember their place and tow the line. Their outrage is hampering productivity, their emotions are not generating them profits and their frustrations at their leader’s incompetence is unacceptable.
The State sees not a human being, but a disposable drone - they see property. A human being is nothing more than another product produced by the State to serve the State, and any blemish in a human that doesn’t meet their production standards will be considered a defect and disposed of without mercy. Anyone they can’t control, anyone that defies to submit to their tribal ways is seen as the enemy and is lashed out at with scornful brutality like none other."
