Aria You should visit the peoples of the stappes they worship The Eternal Blue Sky

For public consideration, the post where Diana Kim contends another pilot is a liar and spreading pro-Gallente propaganda for claiming Kim would execute Federal POWs for being ethnic Gallente.

For public consideration, the post where Diana Kim shares a video demonstrating her crew (now acknowledged to be dominated by Dragonaur terrorists) executing Federal POWs for being ethnic Gallente at Kim's order.

If Ms. Kim's reasoning is internally consistent (and we know it isn't, but let's assume), then Ms. Kim has declared that she herself spread pro-Gallente propaganda.

Ergo, by Ms. Kim's statements, Ms. Kim herself is a pro-Gallente propagandist.

I would like to point out, though, that I myself never called a Liberal to be a coward or a traitor just for liberal point of view. When I call someone a coward - I call it for the act of cowardice they have displayed (take, for example, Makoto Priano, who decided to lose her honor instead of showing up to resolve the conflict caused by her slanders in public against Caldari officer). And when I call someone a traitor - I call it for the act of treason they have committed (take, for example, I-RED, who decided to declare war against Caldari State leading corporations and signed blue pact with Federal Militia - that was forward and obvious treason).

I have heard both of these entities were trying to cover herself under blanket of Liberalism, but let us be honest, liberal ideals can't and won't be an excuse for crimes that I-RED or Makoto Priano have committed.

You say flying against the Amarr Empire as if it is a bad thing.

For what it is worth though, as someone who has been accused of treachery for working with entities contracted with the State Protectorate, and shooting FDU aligned forces while we were contracted to the TLF, I get that diplomatic relations aren't nearly as clear cut or as black and white as Diana is trying to get across. I imagine, most Caldari are just trying to do what is best for their corporation, much as I want to do right by my tribe, and sometimes those interests align in such a way that choices have to be made that are going to be unpopular.

Usually I'm interested in such things. If it's people of certain high plains on Achura you're suggesting I should visit, though, I ... kind of can't. Or rather, I have no right to do such a thing. Forgetfulness doesn't mean everything this name and face have done is forgiven.

If you mean in other places, I'm normally interested in visiting new people, though. Duties permitting.

(If there are gods it seems like that's all the more reason not to act like we know how they see the world, or to pretend we should think and act like deities.)

Uh ... I appreciate the effort at compromise, Praefecta, but ... when it's a matter of honor, compromise gets, you know, a little problematic.

I stay away because I feel like my presence there would be a slap in the face to Mother's clan, especially to the memory of Grandfather, who I murdered, and to Grandmother, whose life companion I took out of this world. Kinslaying isn't really the kind of sin I can imagine forgetfulness ever washing away.

Ordinarily, I'd love to go, but, if I appear on that world, even by holo, I'd be violating the spirit of a self-imposed stricture that's really nothing but spirit to begin with.

And I wouldn't even get to feel or taste anything.
