Caldari: various Patriot corporations that seems to be birthing and dying at a fast rate
LDIS has been around a while and generally opposed I-RED in political RP, to include decrying their presence in
Providence, arguing that the State needed them in Black Rise. (Which puts LDIS in an odd position today.) That was the foil, Ishukone vs Lai Dai, competitors.
Or would you prefer:
"Caldari Should Be One Monolithic Entity, Not Competing Methods To The Same Goal"Even more amusing is that for the longest time we were some of the only Caldari saying anything about Heth, doing anything about Heth, and then when it's suddenly popular to go against Heth... we're told we weren't there for any of it, and that we just hid in syndicate the whole time. What the fuck?
I realize I am responding to a rant, but
bullshit. I argued with Van Cleef, Svetlana Scarlet, Kyoko Sakoda, etc about the extent of Heth's power in
2008 (I was proven wrong in the past 6 months) and back-referenced the IGS conversations when it was brought up again for on the order of 3 years. I-RED was another "loyal-opposition" entity, opposing Heth's desire for revenge against the Federation and ignoring the needed changes the CPD brought to the megas. I attempted to walk the tight-rope of
Patriot, but not
Provist, surrounded by those vocally opposing the State's new direction.
In other words, the view from the other side isn't pretty either.
