It would be nice if the IS could come to terms with themselves and be able to do more than talk in terms of reforming the Star League. Though the Dark Born will remain patient for the potential of good objectives to occur with such initiatives.
The Dark Caste in Clan society has been long suffering the oppressive Clan system for decades now. Having to eak out an existence being treated worse than second class citizens and being subjugated to repeated attacks simply by the very prejudice of our existence, yet still being seen as a thing to be swept under the carpet by the Children of Kerensky.
Yet we remain defiant as a necessary evil it seems because the Clan system has no place for certain ideals and anyone who does not completely conform to their militaristic philosophies. Their pursuit to peace with warfare deciding these actions and having this more simplistic Darwanistic approach in their society that simply does not embrace all forms of cultural diversity or really embrace a cultural understanding of the capability of peace. This since their society is now socially engineered around this warlike culture and the inequalities in this society that has become acceptable to them.
Do you realise that they enact military action on some dark caste communities as a way to train their upcoming mechwarriors and will attrition and murder these dark caste communities as a way to train their sibko elements. Yet there is no support or humanitarian effort to assist these rejected parts of Clan society as a result of these actions. No medicines, no food, nothing is received as a result of these actions and no perceived method or rehabilitation or retribution to allow the Dark Caste to re-engage with Clan society. We are left to our own instinct of survival and cunning if then simply wish to stay alive in the Clan society.
The Dark Born have never wanted to have anything other than long term peaceful objectives in returning their culture to an existence of prosperity and peace but we exist in a very dark world of oppression and subjugation at the hands of masters that care little for our welfare, if indeed recognise we even exist at times.
The Dark Born then will continue to do what it has to do in order to survive and we have learnt this is to remain neutral to all concerned politics as we have discovered that power simply leads to corruption and this poisoned chalice in the guise of a militaristic arm only leads to oppression and suffering by those who adopt it as their guiding principles.
I would like to dream of a time when humanity can live in peace and prosperity, both IS and Clan without the need for inglorious mech war machines as being the only way to have any chance at an existence. This however the very essence of what it means to be "human" in 3050. History and the way our culture has been treated however leaves little room for trust that anyone really has a "handle" on what it would truly mean to be a "Star League Defence force". With the original aspirations of supporting humanity to achieve peace, prosperity, abundance of welfare and technology and what once was considered the Zenith of human existence. Even the IS houses having a history of violence with the succession wars all for the pursuit of power.
The Dark Born will then negotiate with any faction or unit that has the determined will and vision of seeing the long term restoration of the values of peace and prosperity for humanity and does not care if this comes from the Clans, IS or other free peoples of the periphery. But the Dark Caste and other oppressed elements do not deserve their current fate in what has now become a corrupted Kerensky's vision as we experience it.
