FROM THE PRIORISTS WITH LOVE, 1687

 

 

Greetings to all working class individuals within the Imperium Septimus! I, Cousin Otis, write to thee to provide transparency, and an insight, into the inner workings of the Priorist Policy as well as to our critique to our opponents.

 

The Priorist party has always stood for three major principles: One People, One Nation, One Faith. In this regard, the “People” refer to all Humanity, the “Nation” - our fair Imperium and our “Faith” - the Holy Church of Canon.

 

We Priorists seek to enact laws which shall elevate the status of all Men, and Women, in the Imperium. We seek a rebirth in meritocracy - so that those who are incompetent do not gain the reins of control over our lives. We seek a resurgence in Imperial Culture, so that we shall not find ourselves lost seeking for our morality and customs. We seek fairness, for the working peoples of the Imperium, so that we may no longer be taken advantage of.

 

However, despite these noble ideals, some, who themselves have committed far greater crimes, still label us as rabble-rousers and morally wrong for the Imperium. They claim we are mobs, who break and steal. Though, initially, I would deny such, I instead see it in a different light. Yes. We are mobs. Mobs of patriotic Imperials who wish to see that the labor of those who came before us, the brave Legions of Renatus, do not fade out into the eons of time for the sake of opportunistic sycophants and cravens.

 

The Imperium was formed upon the ideals of greatness, and yet, other factions, who have since coalition, inherently go against these ideals.

 

I ask thee, citizens:

Is it wrong to desire a system of merit within our Government?

 

Is it wrong to ensure that Knights are qualified to defend us, and to prevent one from merely seeking the title of Ser rather than the Ser-vice that accompanies it?

 

Is it wrong to ensure that citizens within the Imperium are patriotic, so that we may be proud of our fellow countrymen?

Is it wrong to elevate the status of Men above those who care not for our history and customs?

 

Is it wrong, I ask, to represent the working class?

 

I assume the answer is no. Nothing of what we preach is morally wrong. It is not legally wrong, nor rationally wrong either. Yet, critics still attempt to paint us as evil. So, I shall do the same.

 

Candidate Robert Sigismund (Common Civic Party), a man who boasts his service to Haense since Otto the Third ignores a key fact about his leal lord. Otto III opposed Imperial unity, and sought the destruction of his fellow man - making Robert inherently complicit for he authored the Otto III doctrine. For generations Robert has lived, yet, not a single peep of critique towards the actions of Otto III have left his mouth. Instead, like a dog, he obeyed the whims of his master and postponed our glorious Imperial unity for decades. For a man who can speak so elegantly, he provides no genuine substance in policies which would strengthen Imperial values. The mobs which he denounce are nothing compared to the actual armed defiance of Haense in our previous wars, where Renatian and Haense boys alike were slain, never to return home to their families, all to save the face of the cowardly Haense privy. To this day, I reckon he still holds anti-Imperial thoughts in the depths of his senile mind - and yes, I do mean senile due to his age (in fact, the health concerns stemming from the stress of parliament may make it too dangerous for him to run!).  Additionally, he boasts of fighting off bandits - but, we REAL veterans of the Priorist Party know that he has never risen the blade as we have. To him, I show no remorse, nor respect, for he is but a snake in an Crow’s tabard, and a pathological liar. He does not even use the Human calendar. And now, we wait, for the inevitable smooth talking and substanceless grovel of a reply.

 

To Cesare di Lucio Accorsi, I say this. Do not accuse men of being uncanonist. It is in fact a sin to do such. Perhaps you should freshen up your scroll of Virtue. I would pass judgement upon thee, but you are a nobody. I cannot relate you, for you hold zero relevance. I cannot insult you, for no one even knew of your name prior to this retort. The insult would go over the heads of our electorate, for it would require them to know something about you personally. The fact is, Cesare, you want attention. You are a masochist, and I guarantee you that you were excited in your trousers when the mob you egged on stomped upon thee.

 

To John Hugh Sarkozic, I’ve nothing to say about. I am unsure if this man exists; however, if he does, I consider him to be a fair opponent in the elections to come. He has said nothing, which implies to me that he is honorable. However, it appears that we merely hold disagreements on policy, or region.

 

Instead, we Priorists support our fair candidate, Victoria. She is humble, sweet and competent and classy. A mother figure. Chosen by the people, we are determined to help her become the first female elected Official in the history of Human politics. It is right that we do this, so that we may shatter gender barriers and once and for all prove that women may serve humanity as greatly as men. We need only look towards the Saint, Emma Vladov, as evidence of such feminine grandeur. Victoria seeks to elevate the status of humans, and advocate in Parliament what is right for the Empire’s soul through our platform. I am certain Victoria shall serve us well in Parliament, for she already serves our needs within the Mos Le’Harmless Cantina. She knows the plight of our peoples, and our needs. She is not noble, she is not gentry - she is our candidate.

The Father was busy sweeping his cathedral as he read the missive, with a frown. ”Why must we all slander one another for issues of the past? Owyn himself was forgiven by our Lord GOD. Why can man not forgive and forget the sins of each other from years past?” The Father shrugged, going back to running the church. He had busier things to do than complain about either side of the debate. (Meanwhile he hid his pro Priorist tome in his robe)

“I’m with her!” Commodus says, rooting for his friend and employee Victoria!

“Hippity hoppity, there is only one gender and that is man; women are property, and property cant run for office.” remarks Ilya in regards these chains of events.

“Ah yes, the age-old play of running a fellow man’s name into the dirt simply so that you can station yourself as morally superior.” comments Demetrius with a chuckle. “Only those who look at things at face-value would see this as the correct movement, however it is clear to most that if you require to push a man down to go up, then you truly are no man at all.”

Moved to The Great Library. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly.
