Intergalactic Summit

I would feel much more comfortable with these operations if those involved were to acquire slaves, free them first, then offer passage to the Republic. The entire goal of the Reclamation has been to ultimately free slaves, and the process of emancipating a slave to become a free Amarr citizen is not so horribly onerous. If a free man or woman wishes to travel elsewhere in search of opportunity, then may the grace of God be with them.

Nine generations is a poor standard, a bottom rung of mediocrity to catch out our most inept of Holders. If our Holders cannot instill the teachings of God and the Amarrian way into their slaves, such that so many of them wish to return to barbarism, then it is past time that our Holders must be held or lifted to a higher standard.

Yeah I'm sure all 1.3 million of these evacuees were kidnapped, dragged kicking and screaming away from the temple they were praying in while waiting for the Amarrian god to smile upon them a few hundred years after their deaths. Yeah, sure.

To all of you dubious slavers and your apologists please remember that there are literally thousands of people, many of them slaves, cast adrift in cargo containers every day. Who's to say that those evacuees weren't collected from space or, were handed over to FE or EM by humanitarian capsuleers, over a long period of time and transported en masse in this convoy?

Oh well, why muddy the waters with rational explanations when wild conspiracies are so much more fun?

That is actually not true.

It is actually illegal regarding Ammatar laws since the ships and personnel transporting and contracting the slaves belonged to Freedom Extension. Freedom Extension is not bound by CONCORD regulations and laws, but by the sovereign state they operate into.

Where it becomes tricky and vague is that the "commodities" (the slaves) were acquired on capsuleer market or capsuleer regulated space. They were then handled to a baseliner corporation. What are the exact regulations covering the transfers of goods between an entity under the SCC and CONCORD laws and a sovereign entity ?

You're one to talk.

I have not yet begun to fight. The fact that you can read such clear testimony and scathing articles regarding the internment and reeducation camps and still be so staunch in your beliefs is mind blowing. You don't actually care for the well beig of those that are kidnapped, you simply seek to advance your own dogmatic and misguided beliefs. The Amarr have been guiding and providing for the Amatarr for longer than your race has been exploring space. We know our roles in this story and we act not out of savagry, but with parental caring. It's time you tended to your own rotting federation, rather then minding the affairs of those who know what they're doing.

My family has been involved in the care and protection of Minmatar and Amatarr for many many generations. Never in our stewadship to God in that same care and protection of the Minmatar have they been so wholly abused, and neglected as they are in the internment camps. You call me slaver, but I've cared for what is mine. They are clothed, fed, given shelter, educated, taught trades and raised to love and serve God. You offer nothing, certainly not for free. I give EVERYTHING to them for free, only asking obedience. The reward of that obedience is not what I give them to sustain life, for that is a gift from me, their reward is what they receive after death.

You can't pay for your soul, fool.

Well when one side was asking for something the other consistently refused to give despite it being a perfectly reasonable request for over eight hundred years...

What the hell is a shakorite? Sounds like something a miner would look for in a belt.

Anyways typical reaction from bitter enslavers. Your god doesn't stop a man from his right to liberty and prosperity.

A person is the master of their own fate.

Mitara Newelle, seriously, shut this man up.

Ah, so you've been reduced to angry, frothing ad hominem attacks.



I invite you to come and try, blowhard. I'm not precisely hard to find - ask the Amarr militiaman I killed while he was trespassing in Intaki today.

You are right Miss Mekhana, God doesn't stop a man from his right to liberty and prosperity, we do that ourselves imposing social limitations. You are also right that we are masters of our own fate, but ask yourself what is the purpose of that fate. Human life cannot be realized by itself. Our life is an open question, an incomplete project, still to be brought to fruition and realized. Each man's fundamental question is: How will this be realized—becoming man? How does one learn the art of living? Which is the path toward happiness?

We provide that path... that choice to every soul that we care for, that is our stewardship. The deepest poverty is the inability of joy, the tediousness of a life considered absurd and contradictory. This poverty is widespread today, in very different forms in the materially rich as well as the poor. The inability of joy presupposes and produces the inability to love, produces jealousy, avarice—all defects that devastate the life of individuals.
