Intergalactic Summit

Oh, look, another person who thinks there's such a thing as 'choices' in this world and has no choice but to start defending the ability to choose things to have no choice about.

I came by my cynicism honestly enough, Hanaya. I don't see where you've earned the right to colour it as fashion.

You should provide us with regular updates as to where you find your ideals in the conflict. I am curious.

Neighbor and fellow Capsuleer,

I'm impressed by your determination and your love for our country, if not a little perturbed by your youth. But that will be resolved given time and experience.

I would insist that you turn away from the factionalism which tears our great nation from its roots. Our people stand for freedom, free love, free pleasure, and free thinking. Your predecessors have shoved the Caldari warhawks back into their nests and done their part in aiding our Minmatar friends. I say it's time we turn to peace. The Caldari were the aggressors - and they've been rightly punished. Their Leviathan stands poised on Caldari Prime for each of their employees to witness. They're in retreat. I say we let them lick their wounds and digest their mistake.

We are not soldiers by nature, brother - we are artists, explorers, a testament to human idealism! Take your one-man army and turn it into a one-man mission: fly through the Republic, learn to love our friends the Minmatar, for they are a brave and brutal sort which remind us what it means to be free. Take a turn in Caldari space and learn to appreciate their ways too - they have a place in the universe, and though it's not our place, they have a right to live as capitalists all do.

As for the Amarr? Well... let's not discuss the Amarr.

So come home neighbor, have a drink and wrap your arm around a lover. Remind yourself of what it is to be Gallentean before you lose yourself in the throws of war.

Regardless of your decision, please fly safe.

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.

Msr. Vorpalstar.

It is good to see metal in our youth.

The legacy of rights we enjoy are worthy of your efforts.

You will find our Federations worst enemies are the ones who most enjoy its rights.

Cynicism and sloth abound and our foes are many.

But take comfort and courage, you have more friends than you know.

This is hardly a sufficient explanation of your invented terminology. Perhaps you should first become knowledgeable about slavery before misusing it again.

This quite accurately, if succinctly, engenders our focus. The whole begins and ends with the community we are a part of. We have no use for placing mercurial, transient concepts above our community. Others may live how they see fit, organize their values how they see fit, but they do themselves no favor if they use hyper-individualism to refer to everyone else's values as "slave-like".

Those who are subjects to Corporate-Slavism are in most cases highly unlikely to realize the predicament of their situation. I suppose one who is thoroughly ingrained within the Corporate State system could live a fairly meaningful, if not blissfully ignorant existence for the most part.

The problem however is in the risk of this ideology spreading, planet by planet, system by system. Only the individual freedom which a just society can bring, can truly break the chains.

For now, I believe that we can all agree to disagree.

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?


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?
