I have met Randy Cramer. I've been on panels with him in conferences. He is not a whistleblower. He is a spokesman for his faction. He REPRESENTS them. That is an important thing to keep in mind.
Tony and I were in several groups together when we were both looking for help and ended up public. Tony thinks I'm negative and 'dark' and probably evil. I have stopped bothering him.
Teah has a very child-like understanding of the Germans, filtered through her American alter. Since she has a book published that is based on that, I don't see her ever maturing out of it. She was also manipulative about me in my group on FB. I will not willingly interact with her again. I have tried and she is insulting and rude. She takes stories that are probably true at core and filters them through American anti-German hatred.
The Germans in space are people. Regular Earth humans. Everything good and bad that implies. And their officer class drinks black goo. That makes them 3 times as smart, logical and without emotions.
America is still fighting WWII against the Germans in space. That is the whole point of their space program.
In my memories, there is a lot more nuance than that. And individuals have more freedom to choose good or evil out there. It's not a monolith--I serve with Will Glover, Matt Tracy, Joseph Powell on one armada. I serve with James Rink and Rochelle Standforth in Kruger in bodies so modified we look like Borg. I served in a freighter. I served in a brothel on Mars in Monarch. And in each of them, I had a job to do and no way to go home until I was released. In most I spoke German. A few English. I have alters on Earth who speak Spanish or Portuguese. No one is a 100% good guy. No one is 100% bad. They are all doing what they think is best for their people.
