As capsuleers we are blessed with unprecedented power and opportunity matched with ability to carve our own destinies. The colour of our skin, ethnicity of our parents or religious beliefs matter not when confronted with the cold hard vacuum of space. Out there no one can hear us laugh.
These opportunities give us power. Taking that power gives us rights. Those that take these rights must accept the associated responsibility.
My neocom does not identify accents, I have no idea if the person I am speaking to is Caldari, Amaar or even Jove (which of us would ever know?). What does identify him is his actions (You know who I am talking about low-sec scumbacks û my beautiful Thorax is no moreà).
An ancient moral dilemma has come down through history about the soldier and his right to choose to obey or not. In order for a navy to work the soldier must follow orders, but the orders do not absolve him of the responsibility of his actions. It is not acceptable to rely on æI was following ordersÆ as a defence for actions reprehensible to humanity.
The continuous leaking of information on the motivations of the Caldari State leadership must sit uneasily with those that are proud of their history. There is a place that one can take that pride and live with a head held high, that is the Federation.
The Federation is an idea, it accepts all comers, it is not Gallente, it is not Intakki, it is a beautiful idea that welcomes everyone willing to accept freedom, diversity and opportunity for all. Your Caldari ethnicity might raise eyebrows in the corner shop but your Federation citizenship will see you served. The Federation isnÆt perfect, but it is the least worst system I have seen in my travels across the galaxy.
Quit the State Militia and come join us in the Federation, there is space for everyone. Hopefully one day you will be able to restore the State that you were so proud off. Peaceful Restoration of Political Actuality Guild (also Non Disclosure Accredited) |
