Ahem. Lets break this down and offer some alternate theories to this.
 Originally by: Hardin
When the Minmatar rebellion began the best and brightest Minmatar realised that their future lay within the Amarrian Empire. These enlightened Minmatar could could cleary see the path of chaos down which the 'free' Minmatar people's would plunge.
So it wasn't because they were greedy collaborators or feared being totally annilihated like so many others? You may be too eager to pat yourself on the back over this one. Perhaps your zealousness wants to let you congradulate yourself on getting a portion of people under your Empire and claiming they embraced your way of life but if it is out of greed or fear, what is the point? So much for an 'enlightened' path.
Originally by: Hardin
With the help of the Amarrians, the Ammatar have progressed beyond the old social structure of the Minmatar tribes. Indeed, they have very deliberately abolished many age-old traditions of the Minmatar tribal society and embraced many Amarrian ones instead.
Translation. If they didn't accept our way of life, they would have been forced into slavery or put to death. Some choice.

It shows them what they can achieve and the potential that they could unleash as part of the Holy Amarrian Empire.
As second class citizens unable to live up to their full potential? Pardon me while I laugh over the comedy.
Originally by: Hardin
Despite being constantly undermined by the bitter Republic, terrorists and even the Gallente Republic the Ammatar state really does offer stability, safety and prosperity unheard of in the Minmatar Republic.
Yes, stability and safety by force of arms because if they don't capitulate, the Amarr Empire will just bomb them into a dark age. They may not want to admit it but deep down, I'm sure they know that could happen.
And the Gallente have a Federation, not a Republic.
Originally by: Hardin
So Minmatars - take a look around - Do you wish to remain loyal to a feeble Republic that grows weaker by the day - a Republic that could be plunged into civil war at any moment? Or do you sympathise with the misguided Minmatar terrorists seeking to build their own Empire in low-sec space - a project which is ultimately doomed to terrible destruction? Or do you want to enjoy a safe and prosperous future within the enlightened and progressive Ammatar state under the protection of a benevolent Amarrian Empire?
There is a difference between remaining loyal to the Republic and being loyal to the person leading it. And last I checked, the Amarr Empire had no emperor, you have internal military disputes and you have two of your houses fighting it out after negotiations failed. Perhaps you should work on fixing your own problems first.
And benevolent and Amarrian Empire do not belong in the same sentence. The Amarr Empire is anything but. Submit or die is not benevolent.
