Reality and practicalities should never cause one to cease to dream.

I know all about having a dream to follow, I also know that a dream can get your worlds bombarded, invaded, and their surviving populations enslaved.
The likelihood - no, the certainty - of violent retribution is no good reason to abandon a dream.

The Intaki don't have the numbers, the unity, the resources, or the military might to pull off a Khanid let alone a Gallente-Caldari-like civil war.
I don't disagree, but all of this is irrelevent so long as there are Intaki who dream of independence. Dreams have a power greater than guns, as you yourself know so very well. And dreams have a cost. You will know that too.
I care not for Intaki independence myself, like you I think it is doomed to failure while the Federation and State dominate our space. But ... I am very glad there are those innocent enough to dream that dream, even if I do not share it.

Just remember, the cost of Intaki freedom is likely an orbital bombardment. If the dream of independence is worth that price to your eyes, dream it.

Intaki freedom? As far as i know, we are free...There is no Gallantian that tells us what to do or where to go. We are free as any other Gallantian.
Our experience ... differs.
But consider this, how truly free is Intaki when the Federation, even in times of peace, consigned our home system to be the preserve of pirates?

You are right but you have to admit... we are free to move among galantian space. They don't force us to move back to our home world. This in contrary in what the caldarian did after the first war... They didn't want that we would live among them. The galantians don't mind that we live amongst them... and thus i believe we are free.
It is true the Caldari are really no better than the Gallente in this. On that, at least, we can agree.

The last few days i have learned lots about my Intaki brothers and i believe we CAN survive on our own without the Federation or the State. We are strong enough to speak for ourself.
*Tellnan sighs*
I wish you well. I hope the dream of liberation does not end in disillusionment.
*Pause*
Also, I envy you.

Sir Hawke, you dream a fine dream. It is no insult to call you a dreamer, for without dreamers how could humanity advance? To think beyond the likely, to the improbable and formerly impossible, your kind are needed.
I just wish I could share it.

Mr. Matkiel,
Why is it that you look so longingly toward our cause, but resign yourself to remain outside it?
Because I believe that one of two things, possibly both, have to happen for Intaki to be independent. The defeat of the Federation, with all the bloodshed and chaos that would entail; and/or Intaki subject to an orbital bombardment. A bombardment that, while it may not destroy the planet, will ruin it for generations.
Your vision seems to presuppose a Federation that will live up to its ideals. I do not believe that shall ever come to pass. I wish it were otherwise. I truly do. But the Federation is, I think, what it is. And I do not wish to assign to Intaki - or any other world - the fate of Caldari Prime.

Whether one agrees with the changes to Jin-Mei society or not, it is simple fact that the Federation has undertaken sustained actions to try and change what the Jin-Mei were and are.
One can argue as to whether or not the changes are beneficial or harmful also, but the changes are driven by the Federation's intolerant desire to change everyone and thing into Gallente clones. In that, amusingly, they are no different from the Amarr.

(and even more confusing, the very president himself, is intaki, and he has no guilt of this?)
The president cares for nothing but the primacy of his own power. He no longer even maintains the pretence of having principles, why should he care for what he doubtless views as backwater planet. I would not be surprised if in private he didn't say he was well rid of it. |
