Intergalactic Summit

Now now, about bleating. I think most of people here are already sick of your lies, so we'd like to ask you to cease your "contribution" and stop your own bleating. Let professionals work and stop imagining something out of yourself. In the State there is no place for dishonored people like you.

All earlier digressions aside, this is pretty much the truth

What I take away from the article is three points.

One, Ishukone's CEO expressed a view.

Two, Lai-Dai's CEO expressed a view.

Three. Neither represents the Caldari Business Tribunal in its entirety. This was a disagreement.

In the end, it's essentially a political squabble and declaration of viewpoints in the current situation. Literally nobody here can speak for the CBT, and the efforts I've seen so far fall purely in the realm of personal interpretation bordering on outright fantasy, at best, or presumption of non-existant authority over the State as a whole, at worst.

When an edict does come down from the CBT, it'll be my pleasure to follow it, regardless of its stance in relation to my own thoughts and opinions. I would expect the same from my fellows as well. However, Lai-Dai is not the CBT. Ishukone is not the CBT, either.

Until the CBT makes a decision as a whole, both are free to pursue their own ends as they see fit. If the Patriots want to focus on home, good. If the Liberals want to set up information exchange, fine. The canny will find uses for both.

I guarantee that no amount of political horn blowing will come as the slightest aid, however, when compared to either.

A sound basic education, Tuulinen-haan. As you'd expect, I would like to clarify a few points for our audience at home.

In the first, while Patriots, Liberals and Practicals rarely agree on methods, the objective is shared: the improvement of the State, the Corporation, the Citizen. The approach varies. Sometimes, the sort of improvement varies. But we share these basic ideals, else we wouldn't be citizens. There is much we agree on. However, we naturally focus on our disagreements far more than our agreements, which gives the impression of fractiousness.

I would contend, though, that the origin of Provism isn't necessarily a broad-based coalition. Just as Liberal extremists can become dissidents or, Winds forbid, unionists, or Practicals can sometimes weaken or devalue the meritocracy or rewards of citizenship in cut-throat competition, Provism is an extreme far easier to associate with Patriots than with Liberals or Practicals. We all have our fringe that debases the ideals of the State.

In the case of Provism, a catastrophe empowered that fringe far beyond their due, as Liberals and Practicals bowed before an extreme anathema to their ideals.

The lesson, I'd say, is that we should hold true to our values, and to be wary of becoming a mob. Let's leave that to the democracies, eh?

As for the passion, well-- I would contend, Tuulinen-haan, that Horn and Kim are not necessarily Patriots. Horn has gladly flown the Dragonaur flag a number of times, and has made some frankly baffling statements along the lines of Provist orthodoxy. Kim, for her combat prowess, so often seems to portray a version of the State at odds with reality, as if the Provist ideal of the State, nevermind that it debases the true ideals of the State.

Here's an old but lovely example of Horn's baffling statements, sent to my associate Xindi Kraid a while ago. It remains hilarious, and never fails to bring a smile to my face.



Hilariously, he seems to be attempting to charge us with genocide for fighting Drifters, and, well-- anyway. Surely, Tuulinen-haan, you wouldn't consider these ramblings that of any well-balanced Patriot.

I, for one, think that Caldari presence on the inquest would be a strictly beneficial thing, even if we manage to find a solution internally. Simply disregarding politics doesn't make you exempt from their consequences.

Gladly. I'm always up for testing myself.

Mm. No renunciation of your hilarious mail to Kraid-haan, Mr. Horn?

What shame to you it must be, Kim, that you amount to so much less than I.

As for the evemail, it is indeed perfectly within CRC rules for me to post it. What's more, the only alteration was the addition of linebreaks to aid in legibility. The original mail was even less comprehensible than what I posted.

As to the rest, to be honest, I suspect the reason you aren't more roundly denounced by other State loyalists is how loudly, how incessantly, and how irrationally you berate those who speak against you. For most, it's easier to tolerate your blatant insanity than to actually denounce it for what it is.

And ignore her until she inevitably steps over the proper-behaviour line. Talking to Kim is far more draining than getting sucked off by a Bhaalgorn.

Anytime , your always welcome at the Horn residence, Strike Commander.

Riiiiiiiiight.

Horn, you're a waste of biomass.
