Intergalactic Summit

A bold five year plan. A return to profitability and an aggressive strategy to reclaim market share.

Ahhh... The winds of change blow through KK!

It has?

"Oritsuu-haani is now Gallentean. The corporation founded by Mathias Sobaseki is now Gallentean."

*whistles and turns to look over his shoulder* "Hey, Ensign Laanidei, call the Brigadier-General and tell him to bring those Marines down off that wall. Then call the CEP and tell them we're surrendering our position in Black Rise. The War's over and we lost."

*off camera* "Yes, Sir!"

"Ensign. Don't make those calls. Thinking about it, perhaps Diana Kim is mistaken and it's still our duty to stay out there and fight for the State. Yes, actually I'm sure that's the case. The more I think about her statements the more ridiculous they sound."

I think my irony meter just broke.

I don't even need. You have just confirmed yourself my point with a single line.

I just switch mine off when reading IGS these days. Not even a surge protector helps.

To be fair, I think the grand plan of Heth and his acolytes such as Kim is, I suspect, to pray fervently at a shrine in order to summon the spirits of our ancestors from their halls of the dead and we can at last defeat the Federation and the Gallente in one last, final eschatological conflict.

It is true however that in many respects the corporation is a Gallentean invention. However, it is a successful model and in an economic system based upon capitalist principles it remains the most efficient model to generate wealth. Just because it was initially a Gallentean model does not automatically incorrect, because it's foolish not to adopt any method or technology that is proven successful or advantageous. The Gallente may have provided the corporate model but it is Caldari that adapted it to meet our own needs and requirements until it became our own corporate model and it was corporatism -- not democracy or liberalism -- that gave our people strength and liberation on the multitude of colonies we founded. A strength and liberation that the Gallente came to fear and sought to control through the laws of their Federation. It was the might of our corporations that acted as a bulwark against the hegemonic influence of the Gallente and the Federation and which secured the rights of the Caldari people to seek our freedom, liberty and independence through self-determination.

The State exists because we took from the Gallente their corporate models and made it more efficient, more refined and more powerful than they could conceive. There is no shame in taking the tools of others in order to use it against them for your own advantage.

Vikarion-haan has the right of it.

Heth fell from grace because he was too wrapped up in whatever delusional fantasies drove him, but not the actual realities he faced. And any leader that cannot recognize and preserve where their power comes from does not ever deserve to wield it.

This beside the fact that the only reason he came to power was due to the corporate system of the State and his share ownership in addition to the legitimacy granted by the CEP, how does one expect him to return to power when he's already vowed he wishes to destroy the corporations and thus the State itself?

The only option Heth has to return to power is raise arms against the State and the Caldari people. Anyone who does so is an enemy of the State. Any Caldari citizen who supports such an action is a Traitor.

I always did suspect Tibus Heth of being some kind of leftist-liberal socialist or even outright communist who was too mediocre a man in talent or ability to survive and prosper in a free-market capitalist system that adequately rewards those who do in fact possess talent and ability and provides fair incentives for fair work. Capitalism can be harsh, yes, but we are Caldari who accept that harshness in our society must often be required to ensure that it is only the strong who survive and the weak will perish to walk into the snows.

Tibus Heth, being a talentless mediocrity of an MTAC worker thus desired that all Caldari must become just as mediocre as he himself. The vision of his, "New Meritocracy" being only the thin veneer of lies to promote a form of socialism where Caldari are subjected to no longer live as free men and women guided by principle and virtue, where we prove and develop our strength as a society through competition but rather we are all to become slaves under nothing more than a communist regime with a tin-pot amateur and fool of a Dictator called Heth. A Dictator (Or is that Emperor?) who would then decide who gets favours and who does not simply on the basis of how loudly one can shout, "This is why the Federation must be destroyed!" while the Caldari people are forced to labour like slaves under the heels of such a corrupt system of cronyism.

It's rather evident the destruction inflicted upon Kaalakiota is solely due to attempts to implement such a delusional system such as socialism upon it. When it became clear that (unsurprisingly) you can't raise production rates simply by sending down some more Provists to shout more hate-speech at them and reminding them why the Federation must be destroyed through a megaphone while murdering anyone who might peacefully object to the demands of the Dear Leader, Tibus Heth then sought to do so with the rest of the State.

Now, being just another mediocrity in a dysfunctional socialist regime and being spoon-fed lies and propaganda while being told to shout, "This is why the Federation must be destroyed" at the end of the barrel of a gun while a bunch of self-serving and corrupt Provist cronies decide whatever they may want to do with the products of your labours might appeal to some, but it certainly did not, nor does not appear to appeal to the majority of Caldari.

And that is why Tibus Heth was destroyed.

In fact, Heth-haan was a CEO of a megacorp and even Executor of the whole State. This is not a trait of a mediocre man. This signifies a great merit and ability. You know, Gesakaarin-tyuui, you talk too much about mediocrity. I would assume it is a painful point for you. Mediocrity is a general population of the State. They are the citizens, whom we (except you, it seems), ought to protect, and for whose future we fight. In that sense, you, who lack qualities and abilities comparable with our CEOs, is one of such mediocrities as well. But in fact, you are not. You are not a mediocrity of the State. You are below them. Ignorant, self-esteemed, unmerited, hedonistic, opportunistic and individualistic greedy creature, that looks at gallentean ideals with shining eyes. I don't know when you stepped below the line of mediocrity and became descending deep below to the very gutter of creation. And I don't know if a person like you can be repaired.


As I have said already, he is very talented and way above mediocrity, that people, who are below mediocrity, like you, have troubles seeing. And he tried to raise level of peoples. If you think, that he tried to put you and your kin to mediocre level, it would be a great job pulling your upwards. As for me, I would you prefer laying deep in dirt, because should you or your kin get higher into the State, tyuui like you would start turning wheels to their own benefit instead of benefit of the whole State. Or even break wheels by trying to doing so.


New Meritocracy is not lies, this is a new reality already. This is a reality, where old Veikitamos with rouged nails and protruded lips who used to whine to obtain better and warmer places with help of their daddies and monies, will be deprived of their positions and booted out to exile or to live as capsuleers. This is a reality where workers will get positions according to their abilities and merits. What has been started by Tibus Heth, cannot be already stopped. You can cry as much as you want, the road back to you is closed.


And now you decided to open you true nature. Right in time! So, children, lets identify this species:
- likes freedom
- calls Caldari government dictatorial
- calls caldari citizens slaves
I can give you a hint, these species start with letter 'G'.

Obviously this woman nourishes warm feeling towards gallentean ideals. She disgraces name of Caldari and Caldari society. She is obsessed with hatred against our former leader and Hero of the State. And she disrespects our citizens for what we did rightfully to her. Look carefully, citizens, what snake have you warmed on your chest.

Stay vigilant,
And may you find profits.

One bad gamble does not bankruptcy make. Mind, this is no defense of Heth.

That said, the IGS has several threads dedicated to Kim-baiting. Perhaps we should keep said baiting to those threads, instead of infecting every thread with the rot?
