Intergalactic Summit

Can I ask you to observe the Amarr broadcast in the first post?

What do you make of it?
Does it resound with you?

Can such a sentiment be captured easily in normal dialogue?

Propoganda can take many forms, evoke many sentiments. Some are obvious, some subtle.

Here we have the brick-to-face subtlety. Mass media crowd pleasing.

So long as this type of thing is tolerated by the seprate states, I suppose they must be accepted? Concord would not authorize such material without the correct permissions, and I understand the Caldari ministry for external affairs is a monstrously large establishment. Surely a systems-wide broadcast such as this wouldn't slip under the radar?

I have seen these holos broadcast Eve-wide and beyond, and they are easily the most widespread form of propaganda in use today. I think the foundation for this discussion is therefore sound. I believe also the word 'authorized' is in this case justified, although I agree wholeheartedly this type of entertainment is not representative of the Caldari state we all know and love.

A little less humility, a little more grandious spectacularity. Throw in vulgar self indulgence in the self taught notion that might is right. There then is your Caldari culture.



Actually, upon reflection, perhaps this Caldari holoreel is quite effective after all. I feel the need to watch it again and grimace a chuckle.

CONCORD does not require authorization from any body to release information. Propaganda is often most powerful when it is not authorized by those it supposedly speaks for or against.



It saddens me to point out to you the shame in this sentiment. You take it upon yourself to explain Caldari culture to a Caldari and do so with judgment and hostility rather than a desire to understand. In fact, I am quite baffled as to where you get this impression from the Caldari, they have never struck me as being overly concerned with displays of grandeur or spectacle and "might makes right" is more often attributed to the Amarr than the Caldari. (Though it is also incorrect in our case).

My sincere apologies,

I fear my humorous sense has grown morbid and inaccurate in the years - it is no longer the rapier wit I once considered it, but rather a bludgeoning buffoonery.

Would you believe me if I said I meant only to jest lightheartedly. to spar as it were, in an attempt to reach a jovial war of words.

I am in earnest., yet see how far off the mark I directed my humor, and pity an old fool.




In truth my memories of the Caldari have been mostly fond. I have never engaged in conflict against them as a people or mindset, I have simply come to believe that eventually, perhaps inevitably, we shall have a falling out over ideologies.

Also. Perhaps humor?


I bow in humility and retire from the young lady's post, whom I hope shall forgive me for diverting it so far from its purpose.


Karkaroph.

I suppose I can just wait for the movie, I guess.

What would appeal to you Mr Integer? What would it take to affect your sensibilities?

Outside of the personal? Show me the potential for knowledge, discovery, and transcendence. Show me the limitless possibility of information and the transformative power of science. Show me how we can work together to build something our ancestors could never even have imagined and the universe has never seen.

Show me those things, and I will bring to bear every resource I can muster for your cause.
