Maybe you dont understand the anger at having 1/3 of you people enslaved, no doubt you cant comprehend it being amarrian. but the constant knowledge that 1/3 of your race is toiling under unfavourable circumstances, and as i write this large percentages of the remaining heritage of my people are being brainwashed, or subjugated, its hard to put down our arms until this is rectified, for me, impossible.

The matari people displaced by the recent fighting are being helped as much as the republic can do so, myself being in the military arm of the organization, am better suited to protecting the space they are moving into, by force, each arm of the organization has its purpose mine is warfare, a duty im more than happy to carry out.

My vast wealth will be invested into ensuring more slaves are freed and brought back into the fold, if you believe the republic to be that poor that it cannot care for its own people without the help of a capsuleers finances, your sadly mistaken. (the fact my entire income is paid for by the republic should tell you that your assumption is false).

Unfortunately the Republicans don't have a very good record when it comes to looking after refugees. Forced to live in squalor, subject to the rule of lawless mobs, is it so surprising that so many of us think that they're better off as slaves? (snip)

You and your ilk keep repeating this line and I'd like to know what facts you have to support it. If conditions were so horrid in the Republic as you contend, why then aren't people leaving en masse? Where are the Scope reports detailing these lawless mobs running roughshod over local police and military units? Why are people leaving the Federation to rejoin their brothers and sisters in the Republic?

Are you kidding me?? Gods dammit no wonder people hate your kind.

You enslaved them and forced your culture on them you dome headed God-Lover. You killed a culture that could have thrived. You forced it on them and pushed them into slavery until they recited every damn verse of your scriptures with perfect candor. Good little drones for your nut job Empress.

Funny what happens when an empire is ripped apart and it attempts to reform after a thousand years, you expect it to be smooth? i believe the deep seated damage you inflicted on my race is unknown even to you.

You look down upon us for a few riots? this republic is formed around a mixture of people born from different backgrounds, some are recently freed from slavery, others have been free for longer.

We havnt had thousands of years to stabilise the tribes, your holy "empire" saw to that.

There are also three tribes without elders, again we have you Amarr to thank for this, another glorious chapter in the long and rotten history of the Amarrian legacy.

Everyone gets angry over the slave issue me being one of them but you honestly can't expect us a nation and as people to not reason out that the Amarr helped put us right where we are.

For better or worse everything that happens in the Republic is a direct result of our war. Trying to wash your hands of it comes across as not only hypocritical but honestly quite sad.

So...you're saying that the years of slavery and war to "reclaim your property" had 0 baring on their current state?...Really?

Rodj.

That's ******* stupid.

They wouldn't have rebelled if you didn't enslave them and instead tried to ally with them and help them as equals, not animals. And don't say that you did it for their own good and they were treated well. If they were treated anything that could be considered well, the rebellion wouldn't have happened.


Not everyone likes subjugation, let alone invading their home planet and bombarding it from gods damn ORBIT.

You point out 3 scattered and unrelated incidents (one of which was precipitated by Amarrian zealots placing someone deliberately in harms' way, by the way, and then feigning surprise when the inevitable happened) to prove your entire argument? I could point out 3 instances where sadistic holders have brutalized their slaves and extend that to your entire race as well. We both know that would be intellectually dishonest, however.

I'm sure advocacy doesn't include forcing your religion on other people, as I mentioned before and that you so conveniently didn't answer. Also evidence? Do you REMEMBER the Days of Darkness from their history? Look who's talking about lack fo evidence. Now you sound ******* stupid AND like a ******* hypocrite.

Its General actually do a little background research, and im not from a race of people that have invaded or enslaved anyone in our history can you say the same?

If you wish to peacefully evangelize across the cluster, fine.

if you call the defense of oneself invading you sir are a ******. please continue. it makes me feel good about myself.

Theres a difference between invading and retrieving stolen property. You invaded us and took our people history and holy relics.
Your worlds will burn until we get them back.

And we will get them back

This is a pretty ******** obvious is obvious comment. We're at war over the fact you believe they are your property, the entire Minmatar Amarr conflict is based around this.

Glad you know the basics, didnt take you long to work it out.

We have no prior dealings, dont try to justify your inability to communicate on a basic human level. Im finished talking to you.

Well then once all the Matari are free, they will be able to make there own choice on the matter, to follow the Amarr faith or not.

So if a religion enslaves a race murdering billions destroying entire worlds, are we then expected to accept that religion with open arms on the very eve of our freedom?

No grow up and realize that every action the Amarr make or have made has an equal reaction, or in other words the current situation the Minmatar find our selves in is a direct, a bloody DIRECT consequence of everything we have endured at the hands of the Amarr.

I ask you this, as a supporter of freedom and free speech should i stand idly by and allow others to not have the gift of freedom? and if i wish others to have freedom, because i support freedom, i am not a supporter of freedom? that is what you are accusing me off.
