Depend very much of how they whant status quo to remain.
If, and some of them must, make their opinion about elves public, then you have the publicity. Thus police and agency know of you at least then, if not before.
Now, it depend on how the state works.
If it is an ideal world - and I highly doubt that - they won't give a fuck about, because of the separation of powers. And even if their nation is build around the separation of powers even then an abuse of the power some of them have can always be an issue.
If the nation is more loose in this principle, then you can have an agency or police on your tail after your first public speech, if not before. Sure, you can disguise and abscure your operation, yet they have agency that deal with such case and can find where the moneys come from.
And when they find out that our bitchs daddy is the money source they could work against it. Use that a forgein power try to manipulate their votes or so on.
Money alone don't equals to power and you have a lot of tools, if you are in power, to silence others even some with a lot of money. And lot of the people in power aren't in power because they stumble over their post, but because they work for their post and done a lot of underhand dealings even if its only "you support me and I look that I don't follow my agenda in this point anymore".
Some can say they are in favor of freeing elves, there is nothing illegal about that, or Vanessa would be in jail.
IDK, in the real world, this goes on, out in public, without hiding most of the identities, and no one does anything about it, other thing give them more money.
Money is one aspect of power, and it is how you use it. As it stands, Kali's dad more or less owns the country is he in, and has more money than most countries. He all but runs that country. He can buy almost any politician he wants. The only thing that might be preventing him from doing that in our country at the moment, might just be laws about foreigners donating to politicians, but with something like a P.A.C. and the MC and his people, they can do it anonymously, and legally.
The thing is, the companies there profit off of slavery, so they all buy they pro slavery candidates, so if someone start buying them and telling them to do the opposite, we could make a difference, and no one would know who is telling them to say anything. It is all about private meetings, political donations, and so on, the same things that go on every day.
I see, I must have missed that announcement or they didn't make one. The only thing I ever saw right before the issue was server maintenance warnings.
There are some people who cannot be convinced. They don't have a price, in other words, whether we're talking actual bribes as that phrasing is typically used for or values. I am one of those people on different subjects than what we are talking about. No advertisement works on me and if anyone actually tries to convince me of something politically without backing it up with documented fact, I start to believe the opposite. These people are so ingrained in that thing they stick to, whether it's slavery or not, they will do anything to keep it. There is actually a pretty good parallel drawn to the old US south, the days of the CSA are much like how Syl'anar is minus the part where they secede from their nation because Syl'anar wouldn't need to thanks to the majority favoring it. That majority then seems split between the reformists and the...traditionalists? with the first being willing to tone down the treatment of slaves a bit and even desiring it while the second wants to continue the way it was. Neither is in favor of abolishing it, but the reformists are in a more moderate position that would be much easier to convince them away from while the traditionalists are more inclined to put their foot down and dig in.
He isn't guilty of anything but allowing elves to be abused. The reforms were minimal, a facade to keep his power. You see it with campaign promises all the time in real elections.
When I said traitors, I was using your words, the last bit of your previous reply specifically used traitors, a valid word for someone who goes against their own kind.
You're right, we don't know and, if they do have an EC type system, we don't know how it might differ. It could even be slanted in their favor.
That loose cannon is exactly why I said she needs something to keep her from going too far.
They have been going down for a backup or something every four hours (for me, it's 12, 4, and 8), but they changed the way it works, while it used to give an error message and say if it last more than a bit, go to their discord or something, but when it reloaded, it would still remember where you were. Now, the new page is enough of a change, that it will forget what you typed.
Correct, there are some people who will never change, but they will be outnumbered eventually, and as things change, they can be pushed out of any position of power. Most people on the other hand, will follow whatever is popular. Just like most people want to do the right thing, they just need to be shown there is another way.
Yes, he has been conservative in his reforms, since he has only somewhat recently started to make those changes, and he is 'testing the waters' as it were. You can't undo 300 years of oppression overnight without something drastic like war. Especially when it would pretty much crash their economy if they are not careful. As mas at him as you are for not going far enough, more people are mad at him for doing what he did, but thanks to the player, he was starting to see that treating them with love and care could be a better method than a firm hand, but he can't learn that if we cut off his head (figuratively or literally).
"Against their own kind" Interesting choice of words. Personally, I see people who think that it's okay abuse others as traitors to humanity. Freeing elves is not traitorous, enslaving them is. We are trying to help this nation regain its humanity, but we can do that without breaking too many laws if we are smart and careful. Start small, and work our way up, don't start by going after the big dogs.
Yes, Nia/Sui needs a tight leash. That is why I was suggesting we help expand what she does, and try to channel her energy into less violent paths. As she sees that we are making progress, her anger issues would lessen, and she can focus her energy into things that can help more than a few elves at a time. Odds are, we will still occasionally need the services of The Bat Elf, but the less we have to resort to that, the better.
