So, what we have here is EPN not only desiring the genocide of the machine race, but also being more than willing to let the billions (not millions) of bluepills still jacked die, should they not find a way to shut down the system without either waking them up or finding another way to sustain them.

You want to kill billions of sentient machines, and are willing to kill billions of human lives for a handful of militant fanatics?  And people wonder why the machines don't trust us?

I'll feel badly about putting down Zionites who value machine life but don't really know who else to fight along side... but I won't feel even a twinge of regret about stomping people like this.

Nah screw it, I'm pretty sure all your going to do is cover your ears and scream "nanananana I cant hear you!" when the truth bashes your face in.

What truth?  Michael said the only way to be sure was to shut them down.  Not shut it down, not stop them... shut them down.  Or is Illyria right?  Are we going to be told we're taking it out of context?  Can you really try to spin that in a way that doesn't mean the genocide of the machine race?

And how do you justify the deaths of billions for the sake of a few hundred thousand?  I don't care if you try your hardest to find a way to sustain the bluepills or wake them up.  If you're willing to let them die to further your goals when it reaches a certain point, you are less than human.  Even ignoring the machines' fundamental right to exist, if you can't find a way to wake up or sustain the bluepills, you should be willing to let yourselves die for their sake.

I'd lay my life down for them in a heartbeat.  Billions of lives are worth far more than my own, far more than any one organization or all of them combined.  The truth is, Kid is little more than a wild animal, and he will be put down like one.

The idea is to look for a different way, and just because the machinists haven't thought of a way to straighten this without controlling Zion, doesn't mean that there isn't a way to do so without forcing everybody out. Just because you don't see a solution, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

This isn't about a "handful of militant fanatics" anymore. All Zionite opts in the Matrix are "dealt with" the same way, EPN or not. At this point, we know the Machine doesn't trust us, and we don't trust them. That's apparent. This isn't something new, it's just been brought out in the open. A bunch of rhetoric and talking about it isn't going to change anything. You mechs got your order 66, so bring it. Pointing a bunch of fingers and crying about it isn't going to stop a war. Plain and simple.

My focus in on Michael's willingness to destroy the machine race and his willingness to let the bluepills die if need be.  I'm not sure how this response relates to mine in any way shape or form.

Exactly, talk does *poop*. We know where each other stands and we know what our leader's words mean. What you make of it means about as much as what you had for breakfast to me so haveing to listen or argue with you at this point is well pointless.

It means he doesn't care what you think Michael said.

That ends the discussion about them wanting to kill the blues still in the system. The official stance is against it. If you don't believe me (because Zion and everybody in it is inherently a liar, apparently), you can go back to the first page and check the screenshot yourself.

I did see Popper saying;
"I'm not going to advocate any plan that results in millions of deaths--not if there's any other way"

But again, how many would he sacrifice if all that stood between defeat and victory were bluepills?
1?... 10?... 100?... 1000?... 10,000?...... How many is acceptable for victory?

It seems as the most effective way of commiting the genocide of Machinekind is to take away their power source, but as the bluepills are dependant on the system, they'd either have to be woken up or killed. Now there is no way to house that many bluepills, many of them will most likely starve....

Can you really say that Popper, that you, that EPN, wouldn't sacrifice the life of just one innocent bluepill to defeat the Machines? Or does he mean that millions is unacceptable, thousands is ok?

Have you also thought that life is not restricted to Flesh and blood? Programs and Machines written and built for duties other than war, innocent of any decisions made by Machine hierarchy? Do these intelligent lives mean nothing to you?

Does Popper mean that if these lives can be spared he will spare them?

Machinists want things to be worked out and dealt with differantly, instead of pointing the gun. You zions act like your the innocent, yet here you are advocating war with a gun in your hand, WANTING A WAR?  No wonder there's an army of sentiant programs coming to kill you all!  Enjoy your time whilst you can, terrorists.

As for you, ezec.. it may be sooner than you think. I've been acheing for the thrill of a kill.

1. Michael already dismissed the Matrix as being the weak spot.
2. We have never wanted to kill blues for any reason what so ever.
3. We are well aware of the fact that killing the Machines would kill blues.
4. He means what he says, that if a life has to be taken to shut down the Machine, we won't do it.
5. He saved us he saved them he saved the Matrix. <-- Core piece of EPN doctrine.

Bring it, red. I'm not afraid of you or anyone else here, and you know this.

Zion moved itself out of the path of that sentinel army to safety in the name of defending itself. Zion didn't declare war against the Machine, the Architect did. You saw it just as I did. Oh yeah, and we'll see just how formidable that brooding army of sentinels is when it hits the EMP fields if the Machine gets the cojones to take it there.

Ok, so you know that shutting the Machines down will more than likely result in millions of bluepill deaths...
yet you don't want to take any life to shut down the Machines... What are you trying to accomplish?
