Not to discount the validity of your claim, but you will excuse me for not taking the word of a disgraced pilot that has joined Matari insurgents and opposes the State like you did.
I were born, raised and educated by SuVee and never have I heard even rumors of undeserved punishments being dealt to citizens.
If you aren’t outright lying, chances are your brother deserved it.
Elders, but I’m going to enjoy tomorrow very much, assuming of course that you sniveling, cowardly traitors to humankind decide to show your faces, and assuming that you aren’t too busy getting your asses handed to you by the many, many people flooding into the region you inhabit.
I admire your passion, Korsavis-haan, and I will give you the benifit of the doubt that you sincerely hold these convictions and wish to avoid the trappings of the previous administration. If anything, and I cannot stress this enough, I am inclined to agree. I make no apologies or excuses for the Provist regime under Tibus Heth pure and simply because I am not and never was a Hethist Provist.
But tell me, given the recent news of Anin and Torrinos, how is the current brand of authoritarianism any different? As @Morgana_Tsukiyo mentioned the reforms posted in the initial provist manifesto are genuinely good things like job choice, automation without human obsolescence, and workplace modernization. The current neoliberal austerity in state is every bit as brutally authoritarian as the Provist regime with none of the benifits of “Provist” policies, a convenient excuse for the corporations to curtail expensive reforms.
Heth betrayed the revolution and the State, and while it may not be as easily remembered in the capsuleer community the warclone community still vividly retains memories of The Purge when our kind were hunted by the Templis Dragonaurs under Heth’s orders. I wasn’t privy to experiencing that particular massacre, at the time I was a mortal working as an indentured servant displaced by the war. My father was a vocal opponent to Heth’s militarism and paid for it with his life and his fortune. My partner, however, only narrowly escape the Purge back then as a stow away onboard a Guristas transport bound North. His support then for the Provists, and his membership with the Templis Dragonaurs, did nothing to save him when he refused to turn on his fellow warclones.
I hated Heth, and all the trappings of his specific brand of nationalism. But in the bones of his movement is a framework of a vanguard political class of like-minded patriots humbled by the failure of reactionary nationalism and unchecked jingoism. Those willing to adapt and dedicate themselves to the progressive elements of the movement while abandoning those that doomed the state can and should be given a chance at reform and redemption. Not merely as a continuation of traditional Heth ideology, but a truly revoltuonary movement spearheaded by those with an undying love for their country and the people that live within it.
In all honesty, between you and me, it may be a massive grift to trick former Caldari revanchists into swallowing class-conscious ideology and revolutionary action. Cough, cough. But they will either find themselves as a loyal and reformed part of the State Vanguard, or they will be useful idiots that will serve the net benefit of pushing the state toward revolution.
At any rate, I encourage you to speak with me personally on the matter if you have any doubts as to my intentions or if you believe I am cut of the same cloth as Heth. I’d happily demonstrate otherwise.
Ughhhhh.
I’ve been informed by Lady Eskola-Fae that Kim-haani has challenged her to a duel. Unfortunately, Miss Niina is a closer and an ideolog and not much of a warrior. As private capsuleer retainer to the warclones of Avalon I’ve been dispatched as her champion. I’ve been asked to challenge you to Abyssal Proving in frigate combat. Please make yourself ready and message me through appropriate channels to coordinate an appropriate time.
Ms.Kim will not accept a Champion fighting in someone’s stead as I found out recently when she challenged me to a duel.
Not to get too off-topic for the conversation at hand but how truly hypocritical to refuse the services of a retainer. Correct me if I’m wrong but her steadfast dedication to Caldari doctrine means her ships are most likely to be manned by crewed hands not her own. Considering this is Kim, likely loyal Statesmen put in harm’s way over her own thin skin.
It makes it very hard for me to take her seriously.
Sir, while I’m not sure if this will be helpful I’ve been watching Ms. Kim’s discussions with others over duels. I believe the heart of it in her mind comes to the question of whether a person is willing to back their beliefs with their life. To her, only someone who is willing to personally confront death for their beliefs should be considered honorable.
Note that clone death definitely counts. She regards such deaths as real.
It’s possible that she may be willing to accept a champion if the challenged party would take tea or otherwise accept a death in the event of a loss.
Yes, yes, that’s very nice, but entirely off-topic. Can you back up your claim regarding SuVee’s perceived injustice? What was your brother charged with to necessitate a Peace and Order intervention?
I can confirm this to be the case.
Don’t want to be too pressing but Remilia asked good question actually. Think about this thing. State gives so much for citizens: free and really good healthcare, suiting education, intensive career guidance, even can pick a partner for you - everything for making well oiled cog in the greater machine of State. And then just throwing this all away? Sure, too frequently execs are greedy bastards who cling to their seats and this is a problem… But is it your case? Sure, maybe he was a dissent, then my condolences. But if your brother just crossed the road for some big exec trying to take their seat and found his doom this way then I don’t know what to say. And I can’t think of other reasons why Mega would care to send their PMC.
So, it’s better for you to elaborate. After all, this all also seems like you just decided to jump in and serve your new masters.
Oh, and another thing. If RSS will come to you because you did something not very appealing for higher ups… Well, don’t say that nobody warned you.
Well I know the Guristas sponsored battle royales to the death are both viewed and betted on widely in the State.
Having lived through one Provist regime, I can say with a measure of certainty that it is undesirable to have a repeat incident. If change has to come, then it has to come from within. Not from people with radical political ideas and bombs. Evolution, not revolution, should be the goal, and that is not going to happen whilst you people actively work against the interests of the nation by exacerbating an existing crisis. This current storm should be weathered in the same manner as the ancestors who came before us, and who watch over us still. With hard work and determination.
