Intergalactic Summit

I need popcorn.

No, you're just flagrantly misrepresenting the facts, and I think you're aware of this.

I returned to this conversation to hope that our to-that-point constructive conversation might be continued. Instead, I am saddened to see this ... outburst. The previous few pages have been an entirely different sort of conversation from the one which preceded it. I've attempted to encapsulate it, below. I was sadly unable to continue to the end of the conversation, however - I apologize. I can only take so much misery at once.

A demonstration of comparative humanity:

Compassion to the Desires of Others:

Ixiris: Honestly it's to the point where I couldn't give a damn about your homeworld. If there can't be peace on any terms, much less the Federation's (and at this rate, there won't be) I don't see why the hell you should be allowed to have it.

Nikulainen: It falls on the Federation for there to be peace between our people. We are simply trying to exist without your Federation imposing their freedom upon us.

Consideration of First-Order Morality:

Ixiris: If that's what it takes to ensure the survival of the Federation. History has shown us that our enemies will have no such qualms - why should we?

Shahzu: Because the very existence of your Federation depends upon it. It champions the ideals of freedom and liberty while seeking the moral high ground in nearly every instance.

Dehumanization of Other Peoples:

Ixiris: Sorry, can't answer your question. Don't talk to subhumans.

Ixiris: ... the subhuman hordes of the Sansha, the junkie genetrash of the Serpentis, the megacorporate sheep of the State or the morally bankrupt rapists of the Empire.

Ixiris: But then again, Sansha aren't people anyway.

Compassion:

Polevhia: Use whatever decency is left in your twisted and shattered minds, Capsuleers. Save the innocents. Do not fight for the mad rulers who would burn worlds to prove a point.

Polevhia: I am sure that this is not the end of civilized (as much as it is) society. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do everything we can to minimize death and destruction

Ixiris: The Sansha. *Andreus is clearly having severe difficulty holding back laughter* They think they're people! It's adorable.

Thessalonia: You know, we can fix this level of psychosis, Andreus.

Thessalonia: (expression of concern towards...) you, and your cause, and your loved ones, and absolute strangers on planets you have never visited.

Ixiris: No, but seriously, it's only a genocide if there are people getting hurt.

I leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine who in this conversation has demonstrated the better aspects of humanity, and who has not.

Whoa now, are you actually saying Sansha loyalists...those that help upliftings, steal crew, and so on and so forth are companionate and this isn't some cheap propaganda plot? I swear, you capsuleers might be powerful but you all aren't the best and brightest by any stretch....a few choice words and manipulated like everyone else.

We fix them with methods that work, Andreus, rather than flailing around with the comparative "Bash the head with a rock" technologies and methods that work.

You assume that I am going to implant you and make you part of my network. This could not be further from what I want. I do not want your mindstate anywhere near mine.

I want to help make a danger to everything around you into less of a danger, by removing the madness element from your decision making capabilities.

That is pretty much the only thing Sansha know how to do.

Also, Andreus, for the record.

When people are looking at this conversation and saying "Hey, the Sansha is coming across as much more humane than the guy from the federation" you should consider taking it as a challenge to improve rather than an affront.

Also, Scherezad is not stupid, nor is she a cow.

You can kindly take your childish insults elsewhere, dig?

You've only got words Andy, and not very good ones.

You have zero credibility, stance or standards in the eyes of your nationals and peers.

I'm listening to you out of genuine enjoyment, not to make a point.

Please go on.

The Incursions are rooted, at least in part, due to our compassionate impulses, Ms. Unarmored.

It's not real concern, you gullible cow.

Let me make it simple for you, since clearly you're not particularly well-atuned to subtlety: Sansha don't have emotions. They don't feel compassion. Their brains do not function like human brains do. What you see is a (remarkably poor, now that I mention it) facade meant to give the impression of speaking to a human, but it's barely even as convincing as Synthetic Cultist or Constructed Adept. When I say that Sansha aren't even remotely human you need to understand that that isn't simply a bon mot I use for the purposes of political propaganda, that's an actual fact of their existence.


Literally all the True Slave Foundation actually do in space is blow random people's ships up. Do you honestly think that a few words on a forum makes up for that?
