Good stuff there Abraxas, did you write this one?
There are blatant connections between the Caldari story arc and that of National Socialist Germany (1933-1939). I am alright with it from a storytelling perspective and more than willing to play the patriot; the only problem I see with the ease of drawing the parallels is that those players not willing to see deeper are going to associate the entirety of it with NS Germany.
From this I would assume that the Caldari central government is increasing its overall power; so is KK basically throwing its weight around to ensure the government agents are put in place?
edit: my "Y" button seemed to not work for some reason when I spelled Germany
Strange, I saw more Communism as it "should be". It's true that Marxist Communism has never been practiced. Stalin, Lenin, Kim Jon, all of them practiced Dictatorship, not Communism. The wealth 'trickled up' exactly like Capitalism, instead of 'around'.  (This Communistic-Dictatorship is similar to Roman-Dictatorship which laid the grounds for Western "Democracy").
The Naz! analogy is H!tler the "Christian" killing Jews. Jesus was Jewish and stated that the Old Testament was cannon to his teachings. Yet, 'Christians' separated from Judaism and persecuted them for financial gain throughout history. That makes them "liars". Christianity also is rarely practiced.
Let's not forget when France voted(?!) to not join the 'Coalition of The Willing' based on bad evidence, and were badmouthed for being unpatriotic(?! To whom?) No "Freedom Fries" for them. Voting is not practiced in Western countries apparently as it was a shock to my leader... (Elections are still suspect...)
I just don't understand why masses of people will take someone at their word, when their actions say otherwise. The real parallels here are that leaders say anything to gain power, completely betraying the philosophy and masses in the first place.
Tibus' actions are all-around positive. This new Caldari perspective seems like a 'utopia'(blasphemy *gasp*) in the making. Let's see how long it lasts.
