Yesterday we had a small battle between Caldari State vessels and Federation Vessels which resulted in the destruction of 2 Caldari vessels and the escape of a Caldari Freighter which was being hounded by the Caldari Navy.

The Federation people should be vigilant.
We do not know what is going on.

Burn them all

Well, you invade a planet that doesn't want to be invaded (never mind what the invaders think), and this is what will happen after what the locals will perceive as an extended period of illegitimate rule.

Your best bet is to kill them all. I, of course, detest such an approach, but if you really want that world, you're going to have to deal with the residents. And the residents don't like you.

We have some experience subjugating planets full of people who dislike being invaded. A few unfortunate failures but an overall sterling track record in this department. I'm sure the Empire would be more than happy to discuss effective methodology with the State regarding Caldari Prime should they wish to be educated on the subject.

Interesting to see you advocating such a bold move, captain. Or is it king now? Emperor?

The Caldari are not only on the verge of civil war, but with an increasing anti-caldari message being created in the Federation, it will become very difficult for them to fight Federal forces effectively if a worse case scenario occurs.

The Caldari are not only on the verge of civil war [...]

It's not the Federation fighting the State on Caldari Prime. It is the local residents against the occupational authority. Although the Scope report referred to the partisans as 'Gallente', you can bet that will include ethnic Caldari as well.

All demagogues claim that their people will endure, and endure and endure endlessly, no matter the culture, no matter the ethnicity, no matter the race.

Then war happens indeed, and indeed, they endure, for that they believe in every word of the leaders they learned to acclaim.

And someday, after a good deal of things that tend to deeply harass people to the point of not finding war bearable anymore, a few voices raise, and more and more follow. *

No matter the culture. They are suddenly fed up to endure, and unable to withstand it anymore, for that it is a particular trait of most individuals. There is always a breaking point, unless the conflict is a conflict of desperate survival, which is not here.

Let's see how many time you all will endure.

Especially after reading capsuleers telling that to baseliners. The irony.

This situation has broader consequences that should concern us all as pod pilots. If governments start declaring war on clone soldiers there is very little difference between them and us. If actions against them are justified then a similar case could be done against pod pilots as well. Regulation by a neutral agency like CONCORD and an international accord like Yoiul Conference needs to be drawn outlining the rights of this new clone soldier before the fear of this new technology polarizes baseliners against us.

I'd advise you to re-read what you just wrote to realize how naive and propaganda laced it sounds.
Caldari boogeymen are so evil that even their own people are turning against them? I always thought thepropaganda and faux news over at Scope had some limits on the matter of not being too absurd.
I'm afraid you've just crossed them.

People endure. Sometimes governments, not so much.

Then again, maybe if full scale war breaks out the Empires will attempt peace with Nation so they are not fighting on half a dozen fronts at once....No, we're dreaming again.

If actions against them are justified then a similar case could be done against pod pilots as well.

Worst case scenario = Caldari unity. The Caldari don't often fold when faced with a common threat. We consolidate.

I very much doubt it will become necessary for Caldari to take up arms against their fellow Caldari in numbers.

Caldari workers are getting shot for peacefully protesting, there are riots on New Caldari, the mega-corps are at each others throats, and Tibus Heth is using the Federation as a scapegoat...again. And yet you claim the State is unified and will never ever take arms against each other.


Of course, if you just watch the news in the State the only thing you hear is "Everything is fine, go back to work." or "Things are bad, and it's the Gallente's fault." I thought the Federation was full of fools who will believe and obey anything that is said on a holo-projector. Turns out we aren't the only ones with that problem.

Your State is in chaos, the longer it takes for yourself and others to accept that, the worse the crisis is going to get. There are atrocities being committed on a daily basis and the people responsible are directing the blame to others.
