Also, I must say you seem terrified at the thought of people thinking differently than you do, is it really so hard to understand that the Nation is not the abhorrent monster under your bed that you wish it to be?


Well they do steal actual people.

Bit of a hard sell, to be honest.

Theft of population is relative. To you it's theft, to us it's not.

To the Amarr, taking the Minmatar wasn't theft it was God's Will and a holy task, to the Minmatar it was theft.
To the Minmatar, taking those people back was saving them, to the Amarr who owned those slaves it was theft.
To the anarchist, the facist police forces inside the State or Federation have no right to arrest people. To those governments, it is enforcing correct law.

People keep stating subjective matters as if they were written in stone objective universal truths. At the end of the day, you simply belong to a culture that values freedom over your future.

Hence why the correct term is "abduction". "Theft" implies property, which people are not.

I believe the correct term is "Uplifted".

"No, no, it's not abduction, you just don't understand because you aren't as smart as I am"

There is no dictionary in Nation?

Did you ask those people if they want to be "uplifted"? Did you ask them if they want to loose their mind, their memory, their legacy and become a biomechanical wreck?

I think you guys always forget to do that one thing.

Why are you quoting the Amarr?

I didn't realize in a war we had to ask permission. Tell you what, next time CONCORD comes to attack Nation I will remind them they didn't ask permission first.

Oh, you call that a war now? Tell you what, I feel pain when I wreck Sansha vessels because they are filled with innocent people who can't resist the will of a maniac. Innocent people who were kidnapped, separated whrom their loved ones. And I wonder, now that you mention CONCORD. Why won't Sansha attack Guristas, par exemple? Noone will miss those scumbags, I assure you.

So is ILAW helping you "uplift" more by giving you Matari POW's? Not being aggressive, just curious. It's weird seeing you people in Bleak Lands.

It's been a war for 79 years. Not sure where you've been.

Interfactional politics of entities I am not a member of is not my expertise. I suggest asking Citizen Ahvar.

Nowhere, I wasn't even born. Now, ugly war or glorious "uplifting"? Need to choose one.
