Intergalactic Summit

Whilst the lives of those Gallente living on Home need to be safeguarded and their rights considered, I hardly consider them the central point - any more than I consider my rights to your wallet should be the central point after I steal it while you're taking a shower and stick it in my backpocket.

One People, One State, Many Traditions is the full quote you were aiming for and it means that whilst all Caldari have a right to live in the State and whilst there can only ever be ONE Caldari State, there is room for many traditions within it. These traditions have typically belonged to the various Megacorps, but there are signs that Achuran traditions will also come to be accepted within the mainstream.

Should those Caldari tragically left behind during the exodus from Home opt to return to their people, we'd all welcome them with open arms, I'm sure, but until they do they are Federation citizens and the descendants of Federation citizens. If remaining on Caldari Prime was more important to them than living as free Caldari, then remaining on Home should be more important to them than living as free Gallente, no? Or they could even opt to stay on as guest workers, I suppose, if there's a local need for that sort of thing.

The current success with exploring diplomatic options should not be seen as a general lack of concern or care over the eventual fate of Home. Most of us see the current situation as a work-in-progress, with diplomacy as a better solution than costly and unjust war. So long as the wheels stay in motion, there is absolutely no need to escalate - but if the wheels fall off...

Things will get VERY black and white. Very fast.

Do you remember the public execution of Anvent Eturrer? The man was burned alive by a screaming mob and the public, the press and the state largely endorsed it.

Perhaps Ramnev can drag the federation back towards civilization, but until then, I remain unconvinced.

Could those Caldari pilots who have thus far dominated every discussion on the upcoming Election with irrelevant arguments amongst each other... not?

By all means, this is a forum for Capsuleers of all nationalities to have their say on any and all topics. By all means, anyone wishing to discuss the election and the candidates should be they Caldari, Minmatar, Amarr... whoever.

But so many of you are not discussing the election. You're discussing your own internal Caldari conflicts. I've read everything from a treatise on the Heroism of Tibus Heth to an analysis of CEP legal decisions related to the division of Caldari Prime.

Since I'm lecturing, I'll offer a few suggestions.

What do you Caldari think of the potential for discourse between certain candidates and Caldari political factions? Can any of them open up dialogue outside what Roden has managed to accomplish welcoming Ishukone to the negotiating table?

How will rank and file Caldari workers perceive different candidates? Will shared heritage be perceived as more accessible or relatable than Roden's business acumen?

Thank you for that insight, Pieter, it was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

Please, elaborate on how that would work.

Do not forget Gallente Prime is in very close proximity to Caldari Prime. Should the Caldari State regain control of Caldari Prime, I no doubt forsee further conflicts in my home system. I grow tired of constant battles in Luminaire.


Perhaps there is a mechanism for joint control of Luminaire. Although I reject the idea of turning Luminaire over to CONCORD. So perhaps it is time those Caldari who do not embrace the Gallentean way of life on Caldari Prime leave... permanently.

Minmatar dictating Gallente foreign policy?

Now thats about the dumbest thing I've ever heard..

I have a better solution.
How about your return to your slave pen and do some handwork with keeping silence, since you can't do any work with your brain anyway?

As a Federation citizen i am saddened to see Roden standing for a second term. I believe the only place he should be standing is in the dock, in a criminal court for crimes against humanity, and along side him should be Blaque head of Federal Intelligence.
Involved in Black sites , torture, murder ,death squads against the Caldari. Even the murder of our own citizens, as reported by a black eagles whistleblower.

All this happened under Roden's watch as President. He is war criminal in my opinion.

When Heth was in power many Federation capsuleers said, we are not against the Caldari people it is only Heth we are against, he is a war criminal. Well we have our own war criminal now, he is standing for a second term in office, capsuleers openly supporting him, there is a hypocriscy here for all to see. Maybe because he is our war criminal , our goddam son of a *****, that makes it ok. I say no, it dosent make it ok, and i say no to second term for Roden.

At the moment im still unsure on which candidate is going to be the best option. Im looking for a candidate who can move forward a peace process bring an end to the war. The first move in that direction in my opinion is to at long last end Federation occupation and control of Caldari Prime. Most of the planet is now under control of the State, lets finish the job, and hand back once and for all their homeworld during this next term of goverment. Without it i see no end to the war between our nations.

Those Federation citizens who do not wish to live under the Caldari State should be relocated by the Federation goverment to other colonies in the Federation. Those who have made their homes on Cadari Prime and wish to stay should be allowed to , realize they are now living in the Caldari State.

Apart from the war and a move towards peace, as an Intaki i would like to see a candidate who is willing to discuss in the Senate the matter of Intaki independence during this next term. Hopefully agree to allow the Intaki people to have referrendum, on wether the Intaki colonies should remain as part of the Federation or cede and become independent.

Yes, very perceptive, you managed to catch me out in a truth. Not just a truth either, you managed to get me to admit that the Caldari want their home planet back, that they are willing to accept certain conditions pertaining to the speed of the handover, Federation control over the Luminaire system and the need to be sensitive to the needs of the current indigent population. That they are happiest negotiating a settlement, but that they are willing to go to war if they cannot negotiate in good faith during peacetime.

I really did think that EVERYONE had gotten that memo by now, James. You been doing hard time, or in a wormhole somewhere?

If Jacus Roden go, Blaque should go with him. I can't imagine any other presidential candidate being able to leash that man.
