What you think does not change the fact of what you are.
You merely mimic humanity, but you are no longer part of it. You may emulate the morality of humanity, but deep down we all know we no longer are able to truly abide by it. The sooner you accept it, the easier the adjustment to your new existence will be.
You can respect humanity, or try to safeguard it against the depredations of others, but like the others you are a monster, a different breed than the others wearing different tags, but a monster nonetheless.
"He who makes a beast out of himself,gets rid of the pain of being a human"
That is a choice you made and unwittingly accepted when you became a capsuleer. Now embrace and accept it, to humanity - this is what you already are.

So having some (fleeting) sense of morality holds nothing towards maintaining humanity? No one was born a monster, you weren't, I wasn't. What we choose to become is what defines that. And to be clear I'm referring to our own actions, not to becoming a capsuleer. Whether your a monster in the eyes of another is something entirely.Though I'd believe your actions are justified in your eyes, as are mine in my eyes. |

A man once told me over a glass of vodka and a cigar:
There is such a thing as the banality of evil. The first few kills, they're the hardest ones, the ones you remember for the rest of your life. You think it's the most difficult thing to do. Then one day you look into the faces of the people you are about to condemn and know it's the simplest thing to pull the trigger, and one or a million it's all the same in the end.
I didn't need the hydrostatic capsule implants to eventually realize the truth in the practical wisdom of a Civire.
Take it from me though, I only hope the executioner in question at least put a tarpaulin down first and used a subsonic hollowpoint round because there's nothing professional or decorous in having blood stuck in the fibres of a nice carpet.
Does no one ever think of the carpets?

We are in space. Why not just send them all out of the airlock without pressurised suits?

Oh, no doubt I would agree. Vacuum induced asphyxiation and the disposal of the remains through atmospheric cremation by opening aforementioned airlock in an adjusted decay orbit of a suitable planetary object is in my view the most efficient and hassle-free means available to a capsuleer desiring to execute someone.
It does however lack that certain expected emotional impact desired by those performing one of those propaganda of the deed PR stunts, you know? |

See, here is the thing.
As a capsuleer, you are a weapon - whether you embrace that truth or not. Flying warships is what you do, better than anyone. Now it is true that you don't have to embrace that potential, but most of us do. I hunt other capsuleers, but I've still slaughtered more baseliners than a thousand serial killers. Those of you who make your money killing non-pod ships? That is worse.
So, you're either a killer or a wallhanger. Most of us succumb to the lure of a cause.
"You let one of them go, but that's nothing new is it? Every now and then a little victim is allowed to escape; because she smiled, because he's got freckles, because they begged. And that's how you live with yourself. That's how you slaughter millions."

On the one side I could vow for every innocent this terrorist is verified to kill that I would execute and biomass 10 slaves or PoW of Matari origin I have in my personal posession, because **** whoever made that video. Or I could cheer at the death of a Capsuleer, one who would've probably become an enemy of mine. Gosh, decisions... Maybe both? Then you will be no better than them, Ms. Polevhia. According to the basic justice principle you can't sentence those, who didn't commit the crime, if you know that it was committed by others. |

"Monsters" "Good" "Evil"
Strange terms to be throwing about in a supposedly adult conversation.

Sadly I was a cop before I was a capsuleer, so about the only naivety I had left at graduation was that good and evil picked sides and that monsters didn't speak Napaani.
