My father taught me in my youth in Amarr that Minmatar slaves were savage humans, but humans none the less. Your savagery, as expressed by Dantax, shows this. The enslavement of the Matari is for your benefit, for we Amarrians teach you the ways of God, give you a stable environment for you to settle down in, receive an education. Should the Matari one day show themselves to be deserving heirs to God's universe, slavery will no longer be needed and the Matari can take to the skies as our brothers and equals. Until that day, we can only hope you do not destroy yourselves as Dantax is destroying his own soul.

Pilot Ardan, if Pilot Dantax could assure us that he would restrict his newfound desire for killing and slaughter to either warriors that could stand against him, or to non-combatants, I am sure that most of us would have less of an issue with his descent into madness.
Unfortunately, there is no way to assure anyone of that as the future is veiled to us all. Someday, Pilot Dantax my kill some innocent bystanders or people who had the misfortune to just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is what concerns me the most. When you give in to the baser instincts of humanity, you often end up being ruled by them. And when you are ruled by your lust and hate and anger, you become a threat to everyone around you, not just your enemies. You become the beast that you accuse your enemy of being.

This only proves you haven't bothered to know who you speak of Mr Ardan. No, you are not sub-humans, not at all. We all are humans. Precisely that is why we need to guide you to the light. We don't Enlighten dogs, we Enlighten people. And if your people hadn't started a war, I would still be trying to keep peace between both nations and bring them to better terms.
And I'm afraid I still fail to see the meaning of your post Miss Kitaba, and what it has to do with what I said. It is quite obvious that what I say is but of human creation, being as I am simply human.

Edited by: Dantax on 29/06/2008 08:48:03 Edited by: Dantax on 29/06/2008 08:47:43 It puzzles me that you judge my actions as barbaric when the Amarr have shown how unjust and savage they can be to so called lesser beings.
Lets not forget the millions that suffered through slavery and opression and the millions of minmatar men, women and children who died under the Amarr as they slaved to build their so called empire.
It is every Minmatars' birth right to take what was taken, to kill those who killed our people and to break free the bondage of our history and to bring the Minmatar people into a new age of prosperity and safety under the Republic.
I enjoy bringing retribution onto those who have made our people suffer; now that it is your turn to suffer you judge my actions as wrong.
May you hide in the deepest, darkest depths of space Amarr; because it is only a matter of time before you are found.

Edited by: Veron Daerth on 29/06/2008 09:24:00 Pilot Dantax, let us be honest here. It is more like billions of Matari and others that are currently enslaved, and billions and billions that have died in the 300+ years of Matari enslavement. Then there is the uncountable numbers that predate them. All the way back to our beginnings on Amarr Prime all those thousands and thousands of years ago. My father owned slaves, and his father, and his father, and his father, on and on. I do not act like a beast to them, and have made it clear that they are treated well.
<Comms link>
I know that you hate, and are lashing out in rage at those you perceive to be responsible for your races struggle. In a way you may be justified, if you were attempting to kill my great great great grandfather (I think he was the first to own a Matari slave in my House, not sure about that however.) But the point is that you are not. You are trying to kill me, and others like me. Myself and those that think like I do are, frankly, the only hope you have to fundamentally change the Empire in the long run. As I have noted elsewhere, you cannot take the core of the Empire, and so long as you cant take the core worlds, you cant change the Empire. You will, however, make it much more difficult for people like me to make any kind of change for the better for the lives of the slaves of the Empire as time goes by and the fanatics and zealots gain ever more control in the face of your "heinous and terrible threat to Amarr".
Equally unlikely is the possibility of Amarr taking the Republic, and for many of the same reasons. The Matari are too numerous and organized and have aid from the Gallente, all factors that didnt exist when the Amarr first came to your worlds. All that this endless killing does is make those of us who would see a better tomorrow (on both sides) work so much harder to make it happen, and often sets the stage for our work to be destroyed. The Inquisition is "investigating" me for being "soft" on my slaves. This makes it much harder for me to do anything beneficial for my society.
All this leaves aside the issue of your soul. When you revel in the killing, when you give in to hate and bloodlust, you die. What comes out of that pit of black bile is an animal that walks upright, and sometimes not even that. You fall into a well of darkness that only leads to more killing and death, and when the time comes for you to exercise restriant, when an Amarrian mother cowers before you and shields her child from you, and you kill her and her offspring anyway, for the rush, for the spatter of bright blood, to hear the screams, to smell the fear, to feel the warmth of the kill, then you have died, and all that is left is death, and something that isnt fit to be allowed to live. A thing that MUST be destroyed, lest he kill everyone around him for the thrill, for the rush, for the kicks of it.
I would not see you or anyone fall into that pit, for I once tread that path, and but for the grace of God Himself, and the soul of my little sister, I would be that animal, that thing.
If you must fight, then you must fight, but fight as a man, not as an animal, not as a beast, not as a thing. A man does his duty and honor demands, and goes not beyond that. The beast goes beyond duty and honor, and kills for pleasure, as you do. Come back, do not fall into that pit, I beseech you. Redeem yourself, if not for those you will someday face, then do it for you.
May God grant you wisdom and grace you with his Light. |

Indeed Pilot Shaku, it is one less Amarrian you might have to contend with, and in so doing, you have become just as bad as those slavers or worse that raid your worlds today. Congratulations on proving my point. It was most succinct. If you do these things that you laugh so casually about, you are no better and in many cases, a lot worse, then those you fight against. You have successfully become the beast.
No matter how justified you may feel, the slaughter of the innocent (and yes, children are innocent, God told us so) makes you an abomination. You sell your honor for a scrap of emotion, and your status as a man for a bit of a rush. Congratulations, you are now an honorless thing that used to be a man.
Please, step away from these emotions. I do not ask you not to fight, or not to support your ideals, but do it with reasoned thought, not base lust in your heart. Do not give in to the anger and hate that swirls about you. Do not allow it to overtake you, and drag you down. Become better than that, rise up, and shine brightly with your conviction, but temper it with rational thought. Do not slaughter randomly, or wantonly. Be better than those you seek to overcome, lest you become just like them.

Aaah, Miss. Karanth. I was beginning to think you had come to your senses or were not interested in spreading your venom anymore. I'm sorry to see I was wrong.
I have asked this of others before so I will ask you now: WHY are the Caldari so bad? What have they done that makes you so sure they deserve such blind hostility?
If you can't make a decent and answerable explenation I will just regard all your anti-Caldari arguments as the dribble of a mad fool. Now ofcourse, I do that allready, but it would be nice to know your reasons for such amnosity.
I'm waiting for my answer Miss. Karanth. Start talking.
Furthermore, on the OP, revelling in the death of your foes is not good for your mental health. I revell in the joys of battle, but that, I would think, is at the very least a few steps above.

To be fair, calling a Caldari an "insect" is less of an insult than Miss. Karanth probably believes. I doubt she's ever encountered a hive of New Caldari-native Hydra Wasps. Any insect species so large, powerful and vicious that the exterminators have to don a fully-enclosed armoured environment suit and wield flamethrowers before venturing into their hives - which, yes, are large enough for a man to enter - is worthy of considerable respect.
For obvious reasons, generally the exterminators prefer to send in drones. -

Insects breed eat and sleep; they live only for their own gain and selfish needs. When insects swarm they devour everything and anything consumable before moving onto the next source.
I think this sounds very familiar when comparing the Caldari to insects. Their capitalist regime echos the same; devouring systems and resources for profit to fulfill their own selfish needs regardless of whom stands in their way. Great sig, just it's over 24000kbs :) - Cortes

Some species, maybe. Others exist in symbiosis with their environment, serving to pollinate plants and/or keep various species of parasites in check. A great many insect species form hives, and a hive is a model example of social efficiency; every last member of the colony devoted entirely to the well-being of the collective, paying no heed to "selfish" needs. Indeed, it is impossible for a hive insect to HAVE personal or selfish needs.
Quote: I think this sounds very familiar when comparing the Caldari to insects. Their capitalist regime echos the same; devouring systems and resources for profit to fulfill their own selfish needs regardless of whom stands in their way.
The same could be said of all human cultures. Our busiest industrial and market hubs have been literally picked clean of all asteroids, and the phenomenon is far from being exclusive to Caldari space. You're not leveling an accusation at the State that is not equally true for the Gallente, the Amarr, or even the Minmatar.
How many asteroids do you think it took to fuel the creation of those three war fleets the Elders sent into Amarr space? How many millions of cubic meters of Tritanium alone, let alone the more exotic metals? The consumption of resources is not a uniquely Caldari trait, Dantax. Your attempt to level it exclusively at my kind is a betrayal of grave ignorance and bigotry on your part, rather than a cutting insult.
If we're talking lives ruined by groups out to complete their objectives, then I'd wager there are a lot of dead, dying, or merely destitute people on Mekhios who might have an opinion on the matter. -

There's nothing to revel about when you're killing good men stuck on the other side of a bad war. Allow me to say I'd feel genuinely conflicted if I met Stitcher on a battlefield - that'd be a dilemma and a half, unless he shot me first.
Originally by: Karanth In fact, it shows that you are more balanced than those who view then as numbers or insects to crush.
I don't know what your definition of "balanced" is, but I'm pretty sure it won't be found in any conventional dictionary.
Originally by: Karanth Now, some, like the Caldari, ARE insects, but that's a different story.
Hey, whatever you say about the Caldari, don't fault their way of life. It's not my choice, but it's a perfectly valid and in fact extremely well-defined and efficient way of living. Not all or even most Caldari are bad people - I wouldn't really say anymore than in Gallente society. In fact, to be honest, I feel I have much more in common with Stitcher than you, Karanth. Because you're crazy. Really crazy. Like, even crazier than me. I don't like that at all. |

May the Lord bless me. Pilot Andreus, you seem much more... coherent..of late. To see that you at least would accept that there are good people in all the Empires is a sign of hope for me.
Do not get me wrong, there are greedy, hateful, evil people in this world, far more than I would wish. But there is also kindness, and love and joy to be found in their societies as well. When I first read of you and some of your thoughts, I was struck by their fire and passion. You came across as a driven, but thoughtful individual. Then I saw more and more hate and bloodlust in them. Now I see the same fire and thought melded into one that made me take notice of you before. You sir, would make an honorable enemy, though, in all honesty, I do not hold you as such.
Pilot Stitcher, you too, have always struck me as a calm, studied person that I would love to sit down over a cup of tea on my estate with and discuss your thoughts on several topics. I would extend the same invitation to Pilot Andreus, but I doubt he could or would attend, his standings not withstanding.
That you both seem to be working toward reigning in the rampant hate and rage evident of late in the IGS can only be a good thing. I know that we all have our disagreements and that things as they are cannot go back to what they were, but I do hold out hope that in the end, something of worth for all our peoples may be gained from this war. Make no mistake, it will be costly, this betterment of our societies. But if we all try to think, to reason, to use the gifts that God gave us, we can make it worth it.
May you all walk in the Light of the Lord.

Realy? Sub-human, or dog are probably some of the nicer things I have been called by my so called amarr betters. But then if I am a sub-human monster, I was made that way in my years as a slave and at a re-education facility. I want my people set free. Does that make me sub-human? If so then so be it. I am willing to fight and die for my kin. Does that make me a dog? Then so be it. I am willing to execute every single amarr citizen, man, woman and child, that refuses to renounce slavery, to achieve this. Does that make me a monster? I am pretty sure it does. But all you have to do is let our people go. Just set them free. Return them to their homeworlds. Let them make the choice to become citizens of what ever nation they want as free people, and this will all end. Then I can go back to being something other than a monster. I lead a peacefull existance after my liberation. Right up untill I was betrayed, recaptured, and sent for re-education. Don't wory, I learned my lessons well. I will never forget them, I use them often. Well exept the enslave part.

Pilot Ardan, I truly sympathize, I really do. I understand the despair and sense of hopelessness you must have felt when dragged through the system of "re-education" that you were subjected to. There is no excuse for it. You say that the Amarr must come to understand that because you are different and adhere to a different set of values and ethical codes, that doesnt make you an animal or sub-human, and I agree.
That said, you must also understand that for most Amarrians, the current system is all they have ever known. It is the only way, the best way, the right way. They (as I was not) are taught this from birth and are told it every day. Some say that if you say something often enough, it can become true. For Amarr, this has happened. I hate what we have become. I believe that God would not want what we have done, and tells us this each day, but those in power in Amarr are so blinded by their own "virtuousness" and their "purity" that they blindly walk a path of self destruction. Those that are not so caught up in their own self righteousness are often sunk into greed and lust for power and wealth.
What must be done to end slavery is to end this cycle of sin and destruction. I have taken the first steps (as noted here) toward addressing that issue. Others have pledged to assist or model their efforts on mine, hopefully with equally good results. It will not be easy, or quick, but it will work, and will make a better Amarr tomorrow than it is today.
The important thing is for you and others to not fall into the same trap that so many of our own powerful have. Do not listen to the whispers of bloodlust and hate that flow so easily these days. Steel yourself against the howls of vengeance and rage that swirl around us all. Look at the problem logically and use the mind that God gave us all to come up with a solution that will benefit all the slaves of Amarr. Do not surrender to your primal urges and impulse to commit wanton slaughter, for that will avail you and your comrades little to nothing. Look to the future and seek a solution that will achieve your goals (equality and freedom for slaves in Amarr, and to ultimately change Amarr enough so that the need for slaves has been removed from the society) in an efficient manner.
There is a need to fight Amarr, I understand that. There is a need to humble her and show her that the path she is on is not the right one, that too, I can agree with. But to kill all that stand in your way, to kill those that have no way to resist you, to become the very thing you fight, that is what I fear will happen. Someone contacted me the other day and had a conversation with me about slavery and religion and such. During which, she accused me of being afraid of you and your brethren, and that to be my prime motivator to "appease" you in this manner. To you and to her, I say this. I am not afraid OF you, but I am afraid FOR you. If you follow the path you walk now, the road to ignoble slaughter and death, then you will one day look into your mirror and see exactly what you set out to end. That is what I fear most.
God bless and guide you all, Pilots.

In my travels through the various stations I have found many such pilots like Dantax and I pity their empty existance.
I have seen some of my fellow Jin-Mei taken by this bloodlust in our own civil wars and have seen the hollow shells they become when they finally realize the error of their ways. Killing another is easy and in some cases enjoyable. However the enjoyment of death to others will slowly fade. More death will be required to fill the void and where once a single man's life was enough soon dozens of Amarr or Caldari corpses won't be satisfying.
At this time, Pilot Dantax, you will understand what the others are trying to tell you. Killing is as necessary as the mining and hauling you once did in your previous life. But you must kill with purpose beyond the joy of taking another's life. If this purpose is not truly in your heart you will loose your way and without guidance will never find yourself again.
Find a purpose for your guns beyond the shallow excuses you tell yourself now. Find that purpose and while the deaths of others will no longer bring you joy, the world you help create afterwards will bring you more joy than you ever imagined before.

Mr. Daerth,
I understand that you are trying to make a change. But your argument is realy no argument at all. Slavery is slavery. If I am on a raid of one of your estates and the opportunity presents it's self, I would execute you and your family, men women and children, everyone in your house hold that is free, for the crime of owning slaves or supporting a slave owner. And don't try to scare me with, well we could do the same to you. It is done every minuit of every day. A slave or his family are murdered on the whim of thier owner. I don't care how well you treat them. If you want to treat them well, set them free, if they want to stay and work for you, pay them. It is that simple. Let them go. Don't treat them better. Let them go. There is NO alternative.

If this truly was done every minute of every day, then we should run out of slaves.
Slaves are too valuable for most people to waste like that. Some do, yes, an in the past when they were easier to obtain it was much more common, but this is much rarer nowadays than most Minmatar seem to think.

To do this properly takes time -- many decades, if the release of all Matari slaves is to be accomplished without destroying both the Empire and the Republic (and causing the deaths of many of the freed slaves, and causing most of the rest of the freed slaves to live in conditions just as hopeless and hard as the most hard of slavery). Add another decade or two for the reformers to get Amarr society to fully start the process (and things had been moving in that direction, if slowly). Will you give us the time to do it properly? Or will you insist that it all must be done now, even when if it was, it would spell disaster for the entire cluster, and then savagely attack us when we do not move as impossibly quickly as you demand?
Now, let me tell you a story. I once owned three Matari slaves. I realized that it might help me in my dealings with the Minmatar to not own any Matari slaves, so I decided to free them, for I am a practical man.
Before I freed them, however, I asked them if they were willing to be made free, for I consider slavery to be a two way contract. One said yes, though she was happy with his life here, she would also like the chance to explore the cluster on his own. In recognition of her many years of service, I gave her a generous sum of money and she went on her way and started her own business, which did well. After some time, however, she was taken advantage of in ways that are not proper to speak of by some Amarrians. She reported this to the authorities, but they would do nothing, she was a Matari and the one who wronged her a True Amarrian. If she had still been my slave, of course, this would have been different, for then it would have been a crime against my property, and thus against me. But she was not, and so the one who wronged her went unpunished, and she left for the Republic. But she found that she had trouble fitting in there, and contacted me to ask for help, and perhaps to return to my employment. I suggested she try life in the Mandate, and arranged for her passage there. We still communicate from time to time, and last I heard she is doing moderately well for herself there.
The second slave accepted freedom on the condition that he be allowed to stay and work for me as he always has. I of course consented, and his life is essentially the same as when he was a slave. Instead of giving him spending money and free room and board, I pay him a wage and he returns some of that as 'rent' to continue living in his old quarters. He is a bit more careful around other Amarrians now that he does not have the protection of being my property.
The third slave was afraid of what other Amarrians might do to him if he did not have the protection of being my property, and had no desire to leave the service of my family, and so begged me not to free him. Instead, with his consent, I gave him to one of my sisters as a gift when she was married.
So you see, it is not always as simple as saying 'free all the slaves' and having it done at once -- it works for some in the end, but for others it does not work, and in all cases, it is not an easy process. ________________________________ This is not a signature. |

Originally by: Dantax Flying to my home station and docking my ship; I began the process of cleaning my ship. As the water ran off the screen and the blood flowed through my hands; it was as if the blood was never part of something; never part of something that could speak, kill, love and hate. It was just blood.
I tasted it's sweetness
And now I want more.....
Ahh another one see's the truth for what it is. Let the blood flow brother, let the blood flow ---------------------------------

<An audio transmission starts>
*Sight* I just reffered to your... bestial... views in another communication on this summit, pilot. From the vocalized version of your above transmission I see however that... I might a well not have bothered.
*A long moment of silence passes*
Apparently, you are lost. Insanity seems to be common ammong the infomorph community. Such a shame, I wonder...
*Voice crawls to a wisper*
Will I ever become like you? I sure hope not.
