Intergalactic Summit

One more thing Anabella,

making statements like this :

followed by this

would not help you to get any good answers.

I didn't answer them because I don't care to debate statistics. I only cited them in the first place because I disliked someone making wild, baseless claims and then demanding that I provide evidence when I say he's wrong. But fine.



Slaves are not included in the standard total population census. It roughly doubles when you include slaves.

I do not know if the 98% includes slaves or not. Probably not, as the total population refers to free citizens. That being said, a religious education is the one form of education that is absolutely mandated for all slaves. This includes the same daily prayer services and other forms of active participation in the faith as any free citizen. While a handful might refuse to believe, or practice different faiths in secret, the longer a slave line has lived in the Empire the more likely they'll have internalized the faith and culture. The Ni-Kunni and Udorians are both examples of former slave bloodlines who have almost entirely become devout followers of the faith. The same is happening with the Minmatar, despite setbacks and Matari stubbornness. It's just slower.

As for how they are counted, their owners provide regular genealogical slave records to the Ministry of Internal Order. Former Lord Adash Korta was a recent example of someone who attempted to modify these records to his own benefit--this is why he is a former Lord. All persons in the Empire are kept in the Book of Records, and this is usually backed up by local family ancestry and genealogical histories, so our censuses are rather complete.



With the example of the Udorians, the Ni-Kunni, and the trillions of Minmatar that remain in the Empire as faithful servants of God, the Minmatar Rebellion was an exception. A larger than average exception, admittedly, thanks in part to the efforts of the Federation.

Total subservience, helplessness, constant fear, lack of personal growth, the inability to think for oneself, to be a permanent child incapable of caring for ones' basic needs, who perpetually look to Shakor's regime for protection, approval and even love, one who exists only to serve the needs of the "Tribal Elders." This, friends, is what the Republic is offering.

The next time you encounter a so-called Minmatar "freedom fighter" why humanity would be better under the Tribes. Ask them about the billions of Amarrians slaughtered in their uprising. Ask the sex slaves. Ask them about the terrorism and the kind of territorial expansion that carved their entire nation from the hide of another. Ask them why those who don't fit the mold are relegated to menial labor and treated as second class citizens, at least until they are executed outright. Ask them about the backstabbing of both CONCORD and the Federation, and the about the invasion and pillaging of Jarizza.

Once you get the answers to these questions, ask yourself if your "bloodline" is pure enough, because if it's not then you're not even considered a part of their vision for humanity.

All current member states of the Federation joined without being coerced, forced, or threatened.

And just who the hell are you?

Did your poor attempt at a snarky reply satisfy your need to make yourself seem relevant? What has your pitious comment added to "raise the level" of discussion? Nothing. Surely you've seen my response to these types of posts enough times before to have known the outcome.

As a Pilot, citizen of the Gallentean Federation and a free Matari living in the Republic I don't feel that I need to justify my posting to anyone, least of all to someone I don't know. Perhaps your time would be better spent policing the mad ramblings of your countryman Nauplius as he does a far better job of making your cause look bad than I ever could.

I'll however answer your question. I started this thread in response to something Pilot Kernher stated in another thread. I wanted to challenge the assertion that slavery was the best way to spread the Amarr religion. I also asked (and am still waiting for responses) how humanity would be better off under Amarrian subjugation, why all other cultures should be wiped out in favor of yours, etc. My questions are found in my original post.

Perhaps you'd care to actually address any of those questions or defend the institutional practice of slavery rather than attacking me?

Ladies and gentlemen I here present the ultimate "gift" from one of the most pious and zealous of the imperials.

I'm sure his fellows will rush to state that Nauplius is a heretic, en extremist, that his views do not represent those of the average faithful. I counter that these excuses matter not to the million innocents he butchered. They remain just as dead.

It was the culture of the "reclaiming", omnipresent religion and the constant reinforcement of racial supremacy that drove Nauplius mad. Unless that culture changes there will be more like him.

So... how many people does a single person have to murder in your Empire without "authorization" before you all... gee I dunno... DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIM!?

Just a question.
