...The simple honest fact is I was happy. I had a family. I had a Holder who honestly cared for his people...

When I was freed, I witnessed my liberators murder people I had loved and known for all of my life.

And yet here I am fighting and risking my life besides the same Republic that took my life away. I would think that a simple brainwashed "slave" would never do such a thing. Perhaps there is a deeper reason to it?

If you knew your history and present practices, you'd realize that the Amarr have a history of actually enslaving their own criminals as punishement and a rehabilitation method. Some are enslaved past their lifetimes, others for a a few decades.

Slavery exists in many forms, not just the Amarrian method. Wage slavery is very strong in the Republic and Caldari State right now. When was the last time you visted a Republic ghetto?

If a child does not like the taste of his medication do you let him not take it? Of course not. Much as it is with the Minmatar and the true God of Amarr. If the Amarr thought the Minmatar would open their hearts to the true God they wouldn't have found it necessary to enslave them. Slavery has been good for the Minmatar you have merely to look at the Ammatar for proof. It is truly joyous to see a Minmatar accept God, to realize his place in Gods world, to realize the Amarr were right all along. I have had the privilege of freeing newly found Ammatar citizens and have recalled their struggles from slavery to service and acceptance. The Ammatar today are proud, obedient and understanding of the truth of the true God of Amarr. They should be role models for the Minmatar not outcasts. They are who you should aspire to be like not terrorist leaders.

Such as defending the Empire against foreign aggression and releasing slaves?

I've also seen you defend the likes of Jade Constantine, so I will take the removal of your support as a compliment.

I'm not regurgitating anything, nor do I hold the "dogma and propaganda" of the Amarr in my mind or heart. I am Minmatar, and I think like a Minmatar, only one who's not blinded by hatred.

That seems... surprisingly reasonable, actually. I had typed up a long winded paragraph about fighting on both sides, and ending up loving neither, or how both sides need each other, and neither REALLY seems has the moral high ground (in modern times anyway)...

---

It's a war. Moral high grounds tend to be rare in those.

Oh, yes, we can debate the moral justifications of slavery, either assuming or not the existence of the Evil God. And we can debate who started it, both the original conflict and the latest escalation. And certainly we can arrive to some conclusions on that. I do have my opinions on it, same as the next guy.

But here's the thing: I would not willingly allow my people - my clan, my tribe, my friends and allies - to be enslaved even if you convinced me beyond any doubt that it was the Minmatar people who originally brought on the Long Night.

Amarrian society is so awash in contradictions that if it were an entity in a video game I'd condemn it as improbable fiction.

Minmatar society is by no means perfect, but they have some serious justifications for anger which Amarrian disingenuity will not dismiss.
