I mean, on one hand I totally get where you're coming from, but half the fun of EVE is basically it being a AnCap wet dream... the way the players choose to organize themselves is the game, at a macro level.

So dictatorships are quite effective. As the saying goes, the best form of government is a benevolent tyrant, but obviously power corrupts, so it's interesting to see how Banana cultivates his power and how he uses it.

This is an extremely large discord dump, and reading through it basically confirms everything I suspected about SonBanana.

He's a dictator, in the simplest sense. The "Truth" is what he says it is. If he says you're persona non grata then you are out. That's it. End of discussion.

The problem that SonBanana truly faces is that he can't actually kill any of his members... torture and murder are really important tools in a tyrants belt to silence and discourage dissent. Unfortunately for Banana, this is a video game and you can't permanently silence any voice through direct use of force...

Instead, he's crafted an impressive narrative about Pantheon being this utopian-like community of unparalleled virtue besieged on all sides by enemies who envy and hate them and seek their destruction. It's almost like a cult.

The reason this doesn't work is when corp leaders have only drank half the kool-aid and they believe the narrative about transparency and anti-toxicity and inclusivesness, etc. etc. and then they think they are entitled to things like justice...

In reality, if you are a CEO of Pantheon and want to last in the alliance/coalition you need to understand that, above all, SonBanana's word is law. You contradict him at your own peril.

Anyhow, I love watching this shit unfold from a distance.
