Best of luck, sir.
Do mind that others are as quick to cite your mass-media culture as "mindless slavery" as you are quick to cite our own. until you see another option, best of luck in the competition. You will need it. |

Can I ask an honest question, sir? What do you mean by "corporate slaveism"? We don't use the term here obviously, so I really don't have any idea what it means beyond "I don't like the State".
While you may not welcome jackboots (nor would I encourage you to), I do hope that you welcome other sorts of State footwear. |

Thank you for your comments, sir. I have some questons, if you can indulge me.

Could I ask you to be a little more tight with your definitions, sir, and to provide some sort of support for your premises? Do you have any evidence that I, as a corporate slave, would be unable to recognize the state? Every known case of socially-accepted slavery systems includes an awareness that a slave is, indeed, a slave. What's different about this case?

. . . For now, I believe that we can all agree to disagree.
If we are able to live lives of meaning and dignity, sir, then what issue do you have? Isn't that a worthwhile goal for a life?Isn't that everyones' goal? |

I personally rather think that such casual use of the term 'slave' is insuling to those who actually are so and wish for freedom, or to those who were once so and have since escaped it. Valuing freedom includes empathy for those who have none, and not minimizing their state of affairs.
That doesn't have any bearing on the discussion, though. |

I have access to some very interesting memetic engineering tools used in our marketing department; we use them to disassemble advertisements for memetic vectors. I did a little search and replace on your text, sir, replacing the Caldari memplex with the Gallente memeplex. It's not perfect, but it seems to be quite intelligible.

I submit these thoughts for your consideration. Think of these two prominent Gallente, Anvent Eturrer & Jacus Roden.
Think about the conditions from which they made their climb to infamy in one case and fame in the other.
Of course the flag waving defenders of all things Gallente want to not speak about Anvent Eturrer and instead play the role of victim after losing a fight they started.
Jacus Roden rose to power because so many of our Gallente cousins live in crushing poverty shackled to the oligarch's yoke of the so called "Federation". Jacus Roden is a creation of the liberal republic. Where then are his IGS defenders?
The hate filled bigoted monster Jacus Roden will eventually became even too toxic for the cesspool of heartless tyrannical governance that spawned him.
Not every democracy is evil. Not every democracy is good. Extremists from both points of view miss the bigger picture. To blindly trust democratic leadership that presides over an unfair system that has billions trapped in the dungeons of poverty is the type of fool hearty citizenship that allows a Jacus Roden type access to the levers of power. Have you learned nothing?
I found it to be an interesting exercise, and I hope that you do, too. |

By your definitions, Mr Vorpalstar, I have the same freedoms in the State as you claim in the Federation.
Quote: Freedom as individuals to exercise free-will.
I may choose to do what I wish here, provided that I can pay for it and am willing to accept the consequences of my choices. This applies to any of my fellow citizens.
Quote:Free to succeed or fail on our own merits and potential.
The Meritocracy is founded upon a backbone of proving ones' worth, and success or failure is predicated on the ability to deliver results. Those who have potential for greatness are given paths to find that greatness; those who were fortunate in birth but lack ability find themselves decreased.
Quote:Free to choose to care or not
I may choose to care or not care about my fellow citizens, my Corporation, my home. Ones'welfare does not hinge on their loyalty, but on their ability to produce.
Where is the difference that makes me a slave and you free? |
