EP: 58:83 : “Suj Kossi Special Part Two: The Opposition”

ERIA QUINT: Hello and welcome to another edition of Showdown – where we tackle all issues dominating the Empire from two different perspectives. I’m your host, Eria Quint. Almost half a year ago, Suj Kossi announced his intention to run for UEE Senate, a campaign that, if successful, would make him the first Tevarin senator in the history of the Empire. Since Kossi’s announcement, he’s been faced with a whirlwind of reactions. While some have applauded the Army and Navy veteran as a role model for the Tevarin community, others have been reticent, fearing that the ambitious candidate’s intentions may not be entirely honorable.

Our last show featured two guests who, while both supporters of Kossi’s campaign, did so for different reasons. In the second part of our series, today’s guests represent the opposition, but again, do so from two very different points of view.

Our first guest is Quentin Koffler, freelance journalist and speaker.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Hello, Ms. Quint.

ERIA QUINT: And Riv Qotol, activist and member of Ori Tei, an organization dedicated to, and I quote, “the liberation of the Tevarin.”

RIV QOTOL: Yes.

ERIA QUINT: Mr. Qotol, I’d like to clarify something for our audience, when you say liberation, does that mean your organization advocates violent insurrection?

RIV QOTOL: That is a common misconception. Ori Tei has consistently decried violent actions done in its name.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Here we go.

ERIA QUINT: I would think that a Tevarin candidate would be something that your organization would embrace.

RIV QOTOL: No. Suj Kossi’s attempt to become a part of the institution that destroyed his culture is simply a sign of how oppressed the Tevarin have become. Believing that political service is something to aspire to, or something that we should celebrate, is sad.

ERIA QUINT: Mr. Koffler, you have written a series of increasingly inflammatory attacks against Suj Kossi, calling his military record into question and insinuating that he is actually an infiltrator.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: I never used that word.

ERIA QUINT: Then please, explain.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: I was simply raising the question of whether the novelty of a Tevarin senator is overshadowing his qualifications. I mean, here is an individual with a self-professed criminal background attempting to represent Human beings in one of the highest political positions in the Empire. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to question his intentions.

RIV QOTOL: Koffler has perfectly encapsulated why the Tevarin should abandon this infected carcass of an Empire. Kossi can’t seem to grasp that he will never be anything but a criminal and a joke to these people.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: To be fair, what percentage of Tevarin are actively engaged in illegal activity?

RIV QOTOL: Another example of the casual intolerance we face. My people are angry. We have been subjugated to live in a society that despises us, that tried to wipe us out. What you’re seeing is not criminality; it’s a desire to break free. It’s a sign that the spirit of the Tevarin is not as crushed as you would like to believe.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Call it what you want.

ERIA QUINT: But some of Kossi’s political ambitions align with yours and that of Ori Tei. During a campaign rally last week in Gotria, he spoke about “rebuilding the beauty of Tevarin culture” and outlined a plan to establish the cities in the recently discovered Kabal System as historical sites and a cultural center.

RIV QOTOL: For what? To put them on display for Humans to marvel at? That is not culture, it is taxidermy. These cities should be given back to us.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Yeah. That’s not going to happen.

RIV QOTOL: For once, I believe we agree.

ERIA QUINT: We’re going to take a quick break to reload and when we come back, we’ll continue our discussion about security concerns in the historic campaign of Suj Kossi.

This is Showdown!

EP: 58:83 : "Suj Kossi Sonderteil Zwei: Die Opposition".

ERIA QUINT: Hallo und willkommen zu einer weiteren Ausgabe von Showdown - wo wir alle Themen, die das Imperium dominieren, aus zwei verschiedenen Perspektiven betrachten. Ich bin dein Gastgeber, Eria Quint. Vor fast einem halben Jahr kündigte Suj Kossi seine Absicht an, für den UEE-Senat zu kandidieren, eine Kampagne, die ihn, wenn sie erfolgreich ist, zum ersten Tevarin-Senator in der Geschichte des Reiches machen würde. Seit Kossi's Ankündigung ist er mit einem Wirbelsturm von Reaktionen konfrontiert worden. Während einige den Veteranen der Armee und der Marine als Vorbild für die Tevarin-Gemeinschaft begrüßt haben, waren andere zurückhaltend und befürchteten, dass die Absichten des ehrgeizigen Kandidaten nicht ganz ehrbar sein könnten.

Unsere letzte Show bestand aus zwei Gästen, die zwar beide Anhänger von Kossi's Kampagne waren, dies aber aus verschiedenen Gründen taten. Im zweiten Teil unserer Serie vertreten die heutigen Gäste die Opposition, aber auch hier aus zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Perspektiven.

Unser erster Gast ist Quentin Koffler, freiberuflicher Journalist und Sprecher.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Hallo, Ms. Quint.

ERIA QUINT: Und Riv Qotol, Aktivist und Mitglied von Ori Tei, einer Organisation, die sich der, ich zitiere, "Befreiung des Tevarin" widmet.

RIV QOTOL: Ja.

ERIA QUINT: Herr Qotol, ich möchte etwas für unser Publikum klären, wenn Sie Befreiung sagen, bedeutet das, dass Ihre Organisation für gewalttätige Aufstände eintritt?

RIV QOTOL: Das ist ein häufiges Missverständnis. Ori Tei hat immer wieder gewalttätige Handlungen in seinem Namen verurteilt.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Los geht's.

ERIA QUINT: Ich würde denken, dass ein Tevarin-Kandidat etwas sein würde, das Ihre Organisation annehmen würde.

RIV QOTOL: Nein. Suj Kossi's Versuch, Teil der Institution zu werden, die seine Kultur zerstört hat, ist nur ein Zeichen dafür, wie unterdrückt die Tevarin geworden sind. Zu glauben, dass politischer Dienst etwas ist, wonach man streben muss, oder etwas, das man feiern sollte, ist traurig.

ERIA QUINT: Herr Koffler, Sie haben eine Reihe von immer heftigeren Angriffen gegen Suj Kossi geschrieben, indem Sie seine militärische Vergangenheit in Frage stellten und unterstellten, dass er tatsächlich ein Eindringling ist.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Ich habe dieses Wort nie benutzt.

ERIA QUINT: Dann erklären Sie bitte.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Ich habe nur die Frage gestellt, ob die Neuheit eines Tevarin-Senators seine Qualifikationen überschattet. Ich meine, hier ist eine Person mit einem selbsternannten kriminellen Hintergrund, die versucht, Menschen in einer der höchsten politischen Positionen des Reiches zu vertreten. Ich denke, es ist völlig vernünftig, seine Absichten in Frage zu stellen.

RIV QOTOL: Koffler hat perfekt gekapselt, warum die Tevarin diesen infizierten Kadaver eines Imperiums aufgeben sollten. Kossi kann nicht begreifen, dass er nie etwas anderes sein wird als ein Krimineller und ein Witz für diese Leute.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Um fair zu sein, welcher Prozentsatz von Tevarin ist aktiv an illegalen Aktivitäten beteiligt?

RIV QOTOL: Ein weiteres Beispiel für die beiläufige Intoleranz, der wir ausgesetzt sind. Meine Leute sind wütend. Wir wurden unterworfen, um in einer Gesellschaft zu leben, die uns verachtet, die versucht hat, uns auszulöschen. Was du siehst, ist keine Kriminalität; es ist der Wunsch, sich zu befreien. Es ist ein Zeichen dafür, dass der Geist der Tevarin nicht so zerschlagen ist, wie man glauben möchte.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Nenn es, wie du willst.

ERIA QUINT: Aber einige von Kossi's politischen Ambitionen passen zu deinen und denen von Ori Tei. Während einer Kundgebung in der vergangenen Woche in Gotria sprach er über den "Wiederaufbau der Schönheit der Tevarinkultur" und skizzierte einen Plan, die Städte im kürzlich entdeckten Kabalsystem als historische Stätten und Kulturzentrum zu etablieren.

RIV QOTOL: Wofür? Um sie zur Schau zu stellen, damit die Menschen sie bewundern können? Das ist keine Kultur, das ist Präparation. Diese Städte sollten uns zurückgegeben werden.

QUENTIN KOFFLER: Ja. Das wird nicht passieren.

RIV QOTOL: Ausnahmsweise einmal, glaube ich, sind wir uns einig.

ERIA QUINT: Wir werden eine kurze Pause einlegen, um nachzuladen, und wenn wir zurückkommen, werden wir unsere Diskussion über Sicherheitsbedenken in der historischen Kampagne von Suj Kossi fortsetzen.

Das ist Showdown!
