Oh, I see where you are trying to lead us. But let us first correctly contextualize things:
Seriphyn Inhonores wrote:A while ago, there was a story of an extremely remote village on a backwater archipelago on a forgotten Federation world. It was inhabited by an indigenous population that found itself at the brunt of religious violence from another indigenous ethnic group.
Intaki is far from being an extremely remote village on a backwater archipelago on a forgotten Federation world. Intaki is just 2 jump gates distance from Stacmon, a high level security system where even FDU has a station that serves many of the Federation organizations as a Trade Hub and Industrial Complex. Intaki is far from being just a bunch of indians. On the contrary, itGÇÖs a very large ethnic group inside the Federation. Your comparison, for the purpose you were trying to achieve, between Intaki and a remote village of indians in a remote Federation planet is at the very least laughable.
Seriphyn Inhonores wrote: The village became known to the Federation only after they reported this incident to higher authorities. Local fighting was problematic, so the Federation Army was sent as a peacekeeping force.
Intaki, differently than that, helped to FORGE this Federation...
Seriphyn Inhonores wrote: However, the village elders decried this as illegal and unwelcome. Having legally-recognized rights in the Federal Charter, they demanded the Army leave. So they did, and the next day, the rival ethnic group launches an offensive on the village and massacres them, burning the entire settlement to the ground.
What do you in this situation? This is a common dilemma when it comes to questions of freedom, this time a question of freedom from interference. Many complain about Federation meddling in their affairs, and rightfully so, but is the opposite worth death?
Yes, you have the right to deal with things in your own residence. Outside of it, you have to act accordingly to a greater force that was instituted for that matter. The space around Intaki and other Placid systems is Federation responsibility. If you feel responsible to fight for "freedom" against Caldari invasion in this space, you have an implicit responsibility to fight against oppression from any other group in this same area.
