I think what has not been pointed out is that True Slave, though Nation Loyalists, are not Nation. They can not speak for Kuvakei in any official capacity, the same way none of us can speak for our respective factions in an official capacity.
Isis, your self hatred is obvious, and has been obvious. This is not an insult. It is in a way, a compliment, as you are clear-eyed enough to see yourself as exactly what you are. But do realise that other people also see themselves as they are, and in a sense, as others are.
In the end, we are all capsuleers, under the tritanium fist of CONCORD, save an illegal cloning facility or two -- if they're even in operation or still functioning these days, as the data on them is rather old. This includes also the members of TS-F.
I may despise their views, because they conflict strongly with the ones I was raised to follow, nearly unconciously, as a citizen of the Kingdom. There are the views of quite a few people I despise. But at the end of the day when one murders thousands of baseliners a day regardless of faction standing or the self-justification used to fall asleep at night after the frequency crystals cool down and the weapons stop cycling, we are an a very real sense no longer truly our factions, our origins, or our baseliner "histories".
Our loyalties as Capsule Pilots are considered fluid and dangerous because of the immensity of our ability to change the world around us, and we are all controlled for this exact reason, by the same organization -- CONCORD. Not The Empress, not the President of the Fed, not the CEO's of the megacorps, not the Tribal Leaders of the Republic, not the countless Alliance leads, Pirate commanders, or corporate CEOs.
Do not fool yourself that you are still playing Conquestors and Heathens [[translates as Cowboys and Indians, or Cops and Robbers, whichever is appropriate via the translators - you get the hint]]. You are a Capsuleer. TS-F are Capsuleers. The Summit is a comms channel for Capsuleers.
"I was dreaming once, and I dreampt of a world where I was nothing more than a biological fitting; a slave to the machine and crew, instead of the other way around. Don't you wonder at how easy it would have been for this scenario to happen, instead of how it actually unfolded?" |
